Weight of the Sky

Michael was funny
He was charming and wild
In my high school days
He was the king of the street
Rode his Harley down Blossom Hill Road
And his life was over in a heartbeat

Not me
I think I'm gonna stick around
I've just got to find out
How this movie ends
And as I stumble
Through the mystery of this life
I'm gonna keep on trying
To find a friend

Danny was an actor
He was quick and he was good
But his eyes betrayed a sadness
That troubled me
One night, they found his empty car
Down on the beach
He'd just taken off his clothes
And walked into the sea

Not me
I think I'm gonna stick around, yeah
I've just got to find out
How this movie ends
And as I stumble
Through the mystery of this life
I'm gonna keep on trying
To find a friend
Find a friend, oh...

Lost and drifting
On the river of longing
Bowed and bloody
From the weight of the sky
Longing to call out
For someone's forgiveness
But we're not sure who or why
Maybe we're frightened
Like children in the darkness
Chasing shadows
In the strangest dreams
Sometimes living
Feels harder than dying
Sometimes it feels
Like we're trapped in between
In between, oh...

Mickey was so beautiful
And gentle and kind
The last time I saw her
I almost cried
She'd married a sailor
Who liked to use his fists
She could bandage all the cuts
But she was dead inside

Not me
I think I'm gonna stick around, yeah
I've just got to find out
How this movie ends
And as I stumble
Through the mystery of this life
I'm gonna keep on trying
To find a friend
Find a friend, oh...
Find a friend
