I've been alone feels like a hundred years
I guess I've lived too long
But it gave me time to be contemplative
On the things that we've done wrong
And how nothing can get passed you
You block the shot every time
Guess I never really ask you but
I hope that you're doing alright
You've always been my Red Baron
You shot me down
You became immortalized
But please, don't make me laugh
Or I'll miss you
I've been asleep feels like a million years
I guess it's been too long
Let's rest in peace and wink at the times we had
and the crazy things we've done
In Beijing on a hospital bed
You told me we were family for life
I may have saved your life that day but
You saved mine every night
Nothing ever snuck passed you
Never found asleep at your post
I never used to ask you but
What makes you happy the most?
I know you'll always love me like a brother
And yea, I'll always protect you like a knight
I just wish we still loved each other
Like some shiny husband and bride
But nothing ever gets passed you
I can't hide a thing from your eyes
Guess I never really got passed you 'cause
My life ever since is a lie
I'm sending this by Pony Express
Cause I'm not sure I want it to reach you in time
But please, don't take this hard
Or I'll miss you
