April 1st Lyrics by Them Coulee Boys

Namesake

2021

You said your middle name was tragic
And it was stitched into the fabric of your shirt
But by god it felt like magic
When we sang it back to you on April 1st
I know you’ve heard it all before
But I’ve been trying to be more careful with my words
I’m just trying to say I love you
Without it ever feeling so rehearsed
Saw you again in summer weather
Wearing an ugly Christmas sweater in July
You assured me I’d feel better
So I relented and I stayed with you that night
We had a spirited discussion
About the lasting repercussions of that fight
I’m just trying to say I love you
Bеcause I’ve tried it and no othеr words seem right
You handed me my heart back
Bought a ticket for that Amtrak rode away
As I was standing on that tarmac
You checked it for an expiration date
There’s not a night that ends without me wishing
That I hadn’t been with you that day
I’m just trying to say I love you
Because by now there are no other words to say
I let my hair grow to my shoulders
And a beard to feel a little older than I was
You said this would all blow over
By the 18th of October sure enough
I am not the man you think I am
But maybe you can see what I’ll become
I’m just trying to say I love you
And hoping that this time it will be enough
