Beyond the Frame - Joel Plaskett

Comrade, I am thinking of you now

With my eyes shut I’ll conjure you somehow

Fumbling through the first half of the year

Thinking any moment that you’ll choose to reappear

You and I were only passing ships

But the highways that we sailed they looked the same

The cigarette you held between your lips

Was for someone who was just beyond the frame

By midnight you were simply getting started

By three AM you’d start to hit your groove

No hotel room or hallway left uncharted

With nothing left and everything to prove

First you’re gone, and then you go

The first goodbye has nothing on the last hello

This is your universe

And I’m lost in it

No stars at noon to light my way

Goddamn your universe

This very minute

This endless hour

This dreamless day

No one could score the soundtrack for your sadness

No one who’d sing a note could save your soul

No telegram to tell you this is madness

Go find your family and fuck this rock and roll

This is your universe

And we’re lost in it

No stars at noon to light my way

Goddamn your universe

This very minute

This endless hour

Bye, bye blue Jay
