Charms & Letters Lyrics by JP Harris

JP Harris Is a Trash Fire

2024

[Verse 1]
Ain't it funny how certain things seem clearer
When you watch 'em in a rearview mirror gettin' small
There's ghosts you mind to leave behind
But there's the living you didn't mean to lose at all
I took all my heartaches, some broken dreams
And ran away too fast for even me
And these days I ain't sure if I'm tryin'
To be remembered for fast livin' or slow dyin'
[Verse 2]
I carry charms and letters
From a time when things were better for us all
I live each night well knowin'
That the next might be my final curtain call
And I've resigned knowin' mine
Is gonna come before those that I love most
You know, I never been much for funerals
But you ought to have one last big to-do for when I go
[Chorus]
And you can live vicariously through me
And all them postcards I send home
You say I might die recklessly out here
But you will remember me through song
And just say, "He knew nothing much, of nothing else
A boy could do to leave a memory of himself"
Except to pen my bad behavior
To a melody and hope there's a savior when I die
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Motel rooms and fast trains
Weepin' girls and hard rains greet the day
Your photographs may follow
But the memory speaks the words that you can't say
When they start tellin' stories of all them
Pretty girls and glory I'll be in my grave so deep
And they say when you can't sleep at night
It's 'cause you've awoken cold in someone else's dreams
[Chorus]
And when I die you oughta lie carelessly about me
And all the right ways that I done wrong
You never knew how I cried helplessly some nights
Wishing that I could get back home
And just say, "He knew nothing much, of nothing else
A boy could do to leave a memory of himself"
Except to pen my bad behavior
To a melody and hope there's a savior when I die
