Missing Ember

You think you're coughing soft,
 But you spit up flowers when you cough.
 You're good with Photoshop,
 But you had 98 words typed in Microsoft
 And every one of them say that you can grow.
 So when you're back, (say yeah, say yeah),
 Yeah, so I know that you're home.
 The folks at NPR
 Sip coffee and give interviews inside your car.
 You think you know your stuff
 Because the television radio knows well enough.
 And we'll all run to hide our heads
 When we cast the first stone.
 So when you're back, (say yeah, say yeah),
 Yeah, so I know that you're home.
 And they were Butch's broken little lights
 With missing embers in both of our eyes
 And still, you thought that you could have it all.
 And when the words were missing from your lips,
 Oh, I could see them on your fingertips
 And still, you thought that you could have it all.
 In your backyard,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
 I swear to God,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
 We used to play with guns,
 But it was only make believe so it was always fun.
 But when your family crashed,
 We painted miniature Van Gogh on your sister's cast
 And we would fight to stay awake
 As fierce as Ancient Rome.
 So when you're back, (say yeah, say yeah),
 Yeah, so I know that you're home.
 And they were Butch's broken little lights
 With missing embers in both of our eyes
 And still, you thought that you could have it all.
 And when the words were missing from your lips,
 Oh, I could see them on your fingertips
 And still, you thought that you could have it all.
 In your backyard,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
 I swear to God,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
 I swear to God,
 I swear to God,
 I swear to God.
 When we held our hands and looked toward the stars,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
 Look over there on the shoulder of Mars:
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
 When we held our hands and looked toward the stars,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
 Look over there on the shoulder of Mars:
 I saw the Millennium Falcon,
 I saw the Millennium Falcon.
