This song is likely dedicated to BONES childhood friend David from Howell, who used drugs. David was mentioned in many BONES tracks, one of which is recent “MyOwnPersonalHell” from the album “BasketCase”.
[Verse]
I've got a friend that goes to college
I don't know why he does
I've got a friend that shoots up heroin
He's in the snow, trying to get a couple dollars to catch the bus
All of the webs we weave, all the faces I'll never see again
I could say I'm fine but that would be pretend
All the paths we made
All the places you'll never see
It hurts to know I can only see you in my dreams
[Chorus]
I tried to quit you, but you're all that I know
I tried to hold you, but your body was froze
I tried to quit you, but you're all that I know
It's getting cold, it's getting dark, and now I gotta go home
[Post-Chorus]
I wish I could have helped you
Wish I could have helped you
