Song For Josh - Frank Turner

Why didn’t you call?

My phone’s always on

Why didn’t you call?

Before you got gone

And I don’t know for certain what I would have said

But now I am helplessly silent instead

There’s a hole in my heart and in my head

Why didn’t you call?

Why didn’t you say something?

On the last time we met

Why didn’t you say something?

There’s always hope left.

And I can’t say for certain what I would have done

But I can’t do anything now that you’re gone

And it kills me to think

For a second

You thought you were alone

You can measure the mark of a man on the day that he dies

In the mixture of memory and wreckage that he leaves behind

And I know you were carrying too much weight

On the evening when you slipped away

But I loved you like a brother man and I never really had a chance to say

So at half past nine each evening

I’ll think of my friend

And at half past nine I’ll remember

You were better than your end

'Cause I too have stood up on that ledge

But I know you would have pulled me back down from the edge

And I let you down in your darkness

I wasn’t there

So I’ll remember you making a hole through the kids in the crowd

And I’ll remember you lifting me up each time I fell down

And I’ll glance at the barrier when I watch in the band

And I’ll expect to see you there stood on the foot stand

But I guess I will see someone else

And that’s when I’ll whisper to myself

Brother, I miss you like hell.
