Wake Up, Ma and Pa Are Gone Lyrics by Bound Stems

Appreciation Night

2005

[Verse 1]
I shake my head at how perfect some song was sounding in my car
Driving toward the country for the month
I am still on the make, and this place is full of friends that I've known
They saw me too and laughed a warm laugh again
Lay on the warm grass of my lawn
And shake hands "I've met you once before"
Call to the neighbors down below
And tell them "Wake up, ma and pa are gone"
[Verse 2]
Don't waste a breath, how could you've spent your life on something so cold?
It's flickered out you're lost and you're scared now
And I need this life, these friends, my home, I'm on the curb smiling
Remember this 'cause things are never that bad
[Interlude]
[?]
[Verse 3]
You feel right, I was probably scared
While I was gone you were sleeping upstairs
When I first heard you barely made a sound
And I fell first, isn't it perfect how?
It all comes down to a moment like this
When I'm leaving for something bigger than us
Remember that? Remember that?
I called my mom and she said she's never been so impressed
[Chorus]
I am here, I am here, I am here, I am here
I am here, I am here, I am here, I am here
I am here, I am here, I am here, I am here
I am here, I am here, I am here, I am here
