He Laid His 97's Neatly By The Door

[Verse 1]
The company
I keep so quiet
Beneath deep sleep
Some time ago
Do-do (Do-do)
(Do-do, do-do)

[Verse 2]
You left your shoes
Laid out so neatly
While I strayed away
From life completely

[Chorus]
Will you hate me if I don't
Send the messages I wrote?
All the times left unresolved
What if I can't keep control again?

[Break]
He was a thousand years old, and he took to the mountains
To see what no man had ever seen
And what he saw was

[Verse 3]
Bright streaks of light
Sprawled out across the water
Coated in sun
Your eyes seemed older

[Chorus]
Will you hate me if I don't
Send the messages I wrote?
All the times left unresolved
What if I can't keep control?
Will you hate me if I don't
Send the messages I wrote?
All the times left unresolved
What if I can't keep control again?

[Outro]
He was creeping and crawling up the stairs, step by step by step
Each step more painful than the last
What was he thinking?
He was a man of wisdom, love, and compassion
But one final step he would never forget
