Grandma's Song

Sister said to say something profound
About keeping your perspective
And your feet on the ground
Show them you've got nothing to fear
Your future is in order
And your vision is clear

A million miles away, away

Sister said to pretend I'm strong
Keep it all together and pretend nothing's wrong
Mother needed me to be still
Trying to keep her sanity and take all her pills

But I'm not and I'm lonely
And I'm lost and you're only
Just a million miles away
I can't but I want to
And she's gone so I need you
But there's nothing you can say
So I won't but I have to
And I just want to kiss you
Just to make it go away

A million miles away, away

Sister said to say something profound
About keeping your perspective
And your feet on the ground
But I've got nothing brilliant to say
We all die alone
'Cause death's just that way

But I'm not and I'm lonely
And I'm lost and you're only
Just a million miles away
I can't but I want to
And she's gone so I need you
But there's nothing you can say
So I won't but I have to
And I just want to kiss you
Just to make it go away

A million miles away, away
