MICHAEL GILLIGAN'S HAPPY SONGS ABOUT DEATH
FULL ALBUM CREDITS - LYRICS
The Drive
I look ahead, and I see a dead end
Should I stop now, or try to reach the edge
Words are said, feelings still hide
Ready to fall, but am I ready to dive
Maybe the fall will be my friend
I look ahead, and I see a dead end
Should I stop now, or try to reach the edge
Maybe the drive will be my friend
Maybe the drive will be my friend
Because I don’t have to wait, until I die
I can be happy now
I can be happy now
Grandparents / Grandparents (Tape Song)
I never wondered if there was a point
Until I realized there is none
Now I ask myself everyday
How can I make my mind come undone
I was a child, do you remember?
I had faith, do you remember?
Louis and Mary, I would remember
But they are already gone
I never thought about my name
Until the day my name passed down
Now I wonder everyday
Will I know my name when the angels come
I was a man, will you remember?
I lost faith, will you remember?
I would stay alive if I could only remember
But I’m already gone
I’m already gone
Twice Told Tale
Everyone is laughing at his tears
Mostly filled with alcohol
A curse to being human
But it’s not “captain jack” he’s singing
We don’t need to hear the goodbye
We’re already forced to agree
But to agree doesn’t mean to move
Cause I am stuck standing still
Finally ready to enjoy what has happened here
It will never be this good again
It will never be this good again
I guess I should be leaving
All good moments are wasted (never be this good again)
All good moments are wasted (never be this good again)
I guess I should be happy
I guess I should be happy
Is it too soon to say hello?
Or to ask where we’ll go?
Things don’t come so easy to me
In fact, they never seem to come at all
Is it too late to think someday?
How strange to get my way
Did I finally get lucky
Or will you be my next mistake
See I’ll stand on my feet
Even though you knock me down
I won’t feel defeat
I’ve wasted so much time
Just dreaming of beautiful girls
Even with all that time
My dreams never came close to you
chorus
Is it too late to think someday?
How strange it would be to get my way
chorus
Is it too soon to say hello?
Is it too soon to say hello?
Are You In Heaven? (for Woody)
And I wonder what’s left to do
With any work or troubles holding you
Are you happy to be so free?
Do you think about your life?
Do you think about me?
There is nothing else I want to do,
But wake up tomorrow in heaven with you
And I wonder what you’re doing right now
Are you somewhere pretty or just under ground
Still have your frame inside my home
I still sing your words, can’t find my own
There is nothing else I want to do,
But wake up tomorrow in heaven with you
Sometimes I cry when I think of today
And how it’s the same as every yesterday
We kill each other until the world kills us
Hands of justice comes down from above
There is nothing to see me through,
I want to wake up tomorrow in heaven with you
There is nothing I want to do,
But wake up tomorrow in heaven with you
It’s Your Fault (for trying to love me)
You never really understood, who I was
But you tried to love me, just because
The strange thing about love is how empty it makes me feel
But cornered together, I was always real
And I am sorry that I never said, “I love you”
I never showed you thanks
I’m not asking, for another chance
We needed to say goodbye, to our romance
But the strange thing about love is how it makes me hate myself
And I don’t know if I’ll ever breathe again
And I am sorry that I never said, “I love you”
I never showed you thanks
And I am sorry that your heart is forever wasted
I will never breathe again
I Want The Moon (pt 1)
And you were just a firecracker
Up in smoke but so beautiful while you lasted
And I took a hold on hope but then kept hold way too long
Maybe tonight if she don’t mind at all
Maybe tonight she won’t mind
And I hope you’ll remember the words I said
Because I won’t get the chance again
I Want The Moon (pt 2)
Woke up this morning to my basement soaked deep
There’s always something keeping me out of reach
Taking chances when hopes are false
A walk to Busker’s reminds me what was lost
So now today until I die
My life will always carry a lie
Because when I marry and promise to be true
I will still be thinking of you
Every Song Will Die
God gave me a gift
One I lose as I live
God gave me a song
One I can barely sing
But the melody is so sweet
The hook sets me free
Will it stop cold or fade away?
No one’s song can stay and play
God gave me a gift
He gave me life
God gave me a gift
