Lyrics
It's 9:05 I'm 14 years old and my best friend's mom just died I know this kind of loss cannot be quantified Not qualified to make the call but wanna try The phone is in my hand he's just responded "Hi" August in '99 I'm home from college I've Just run a lap as fast as possible to fight This illness that kills and will not apologize This time's so quickly and it was his father's I All of this life, drifting plates tectonic slide The Fates and Mother Nature commit homicide Amidst the splits, we rock and shift and modify It's me at 15 now it's me, it's Jonny 5 Reminiscing of someone else's mom who's died Shе said our songs inspired her this song inspired A drеam I had last night that she was still alive He tells me he has dreams like that all the time 9:05, it's 9:05 and I just had a memory from when I was born, when I...was born So, goodbyes surrounded by the color and light, the color and light, and where were you, where...were you Father, when will I forget your grace and Mother, your laugh escapes me I chase memories against common sense Racing for that calming sense you gave when you held me On those lost summer days and told me I was beautiful, so many ways, your image fades I smile at the mirror, try to replace my smile Yet the mirror's not your face, the wake is gone How long will we remember your light, how long Before another biopsy makes us break Til one of us cries at the other one's grave I love you more than my words can say I love you so much more than my words can say Please keep these notes from the empty space Where one of us goes and fades away And I just don't know what I'd say If I could see you now I just don't know what I'd say If I could see you, see you now 9:05, it's 9:05 and I just had a memory from when I was born, when I was born
