A year ago today, I heard you were gone.
I didn't know what to say, I found out the hard way.
I'm up at 8 AM with a fraction of a plan.
Gotta hop a train to Jersey. You know I fucking hate New Jersey.
We got our beers, we got our boards,
How could we even ask for more?
We got the sky, we got the sand.
I got your ashes in my hands.
And as the waves crash over me,
I wish that it was myself being buried at sea.
We paddle out in the ocean blue
That's where we say goodbye to you.
We gathered on the beach, all your family and your friends.
With tears in our eyes, we say our goodbyes.
A cloudy fucking day, weather to suit a mood.
We all try to calm down, this fucking Jersey shore town.
We got our beers, we got our boards,
How could we even ask for more?
We got the sky, we got the sand,
I got your ashes in my hands.
And as the waves crash over me,
I wish that it was myself being buried at sea.
We paddle out in the ocean blue,
That's where we say goodbye to you.
I never thought I'd lose you
Far to young, way to soon.
And I'd give up anything
To bring you back, back to me.
