lyrics

I remember the day of the wake
The coolest kid with the palest face
Blurry cue cards with words erased
Breaking voice and violent shakes
Wiped my tears and hugged your mom
Before the longest bike home
And summer locked in my room
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you

Midnight drinking behind our old high school
Looks like we can't move on without you
When the future is cruel
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you
The shadows move in strange ways
I've been sitting here for days
Staring into space
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you

We put flowers on the site of the wreck
Wait for God to make sense of this mess
Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat
Pretend nothing happened
You are still at the skate park, working on stand up
Chip on your shoulder, fight with your brother
Still dating Ashley and skipping class
We are in the back seat, you're driving fast
Our masterplan, the riverside
Steal liquor and stay out all night
Happiest Kids, the world was wide
Our dreams were big, your future bright

Midnight drinking behind our old high school
Looks like we can't move on without you
When the future is cruel
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you
The shadows move in strange ways
I've been sitting here for days
Staring into space
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you

Like the bottles cast to the shoreline
Or the ashes after the bonfires
Remnants of moments that mattered
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you
For your memory in our heart
With the glass kept in your spot
A toast to the friend that we've lost
To Mathew, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you
We miss you, we miss you, we miss you, we miss you
