[00:04.95]Across the street
[00:05.91]Above the green and the flat with the colourful curtains
[00:09.09]Alisha's wrapped in her blankets
[00:11.46]Head lent back on the wall
[00:13.06]She's gripping her knees
[00:14.27]Looking for purpose, shaking and nervous
[00:18.05]She keeps her brave face on all day long
[00:21.04]But now, the brave face is gone
[00:24.21]Something in the changing seasons prickles in her skin all day
[00:28.18]Sucked her back through time and left her feeling far away
[00:32.34]He was in her dream
[00:34.50]She hasn't dreamt of him for months
[00:36.74]She's so tired when she sleeps, she doesn't really dream at all, but there he was
[00:40.75]Holding his belly, blood on his shirt, she heard him scream her name
[00:44.72]And then she saw him fall
[00:47.53]Alisha wipes her face and whispers to herself
[00:51.07]"It was just a dream"
[00:52.75]She sniffs, and nods, and dries her eyes
[00:56.31]She checks the time
[00:57.93]It's 04:18
[01:01.28]It's a strange thing your face seems to fake, but the changing seasons
[01:04.06]Then for some reason it comes back more present than ever
[01:06.68]Well, not your face really, more a sense of you
[01:08.90]Even though I know it's happened, it's no more comprehensible than
[01:11.23]If it was an abstract thing, someone else's friend, then you
[01:13.95]Asking me for something, is there something I should do?
[01:16.09]It's hard on your mother, she lost your little brother too
[01:18.93]But your sister's doing good, man, she's smart, smart like you
[01:21.21]And she'll finish her degree next year, try and find a job
[01:23.60]I suppose she's got her head screwed on right, you don't have to worry
[01:26.49]Is there something else, though?
[01:28.21]I mean, if there is, I'm sorry
[01:29.04]'Cause I can't really think what you might want from me
[01:31.90]I heard your voice aloud, it woke me up
[01:34.10]I don't believe in ghosts
[01:37.23]Work's fine, life's good, Ty's nearly 4 now
[01:39.11]Smart enough to walk 'round and hear what I don't say
[01:41.65]The night it happened is vivid in my brain, it won't fade
[01:44.21]Life is long, still, some things don't change
[01:46.90]Nice to fall in love again
[01:48.27]But that ain't gonna happen soon
[01:49.80]I'm tryna get some money saved, fix up the living room
[01:51.77]Nearly got in trouble, I got angry with my manager
[01:54.31]There's this young girl who works with us
[01:55.95]She tried to put his hands on her
[01:57.11]It's such a waste, so many idiots alive and kickin'
[01:59.98]Why'd I have to be the only sane man in town
[02:01.70]Well, I'm probably only saying that 'cause you're not around
[02:04.62]But I'm keeping my chin up though, I don't let it get me down
[02:06.89]I heard your voice aloud, it woke me up
[02:10.13]I don't believe in ghosts
[02:12.46]You're with me all the time
[02:13.69]I think I know you better than I did when we were hanging out together
[02:16.55]What's it like, where you've gone?
[02:18.03]Well, I can feel it, it's ok, I know you can't say
[02:19.45]But you've been with me all day, I have to tell you
[02:22.39]When it happened, I couldn't cry for ages
[02:24.36]But when it hit me, I ******* screamed like a lion in a cage
[02:27.38]And, look, I fasted, I didn't eat a thing for, like, a week
[02:30.12]And I just walked across the heath in the rain
[02:31.73]Spittin' bars to the grass, and listening to the cars skidding past
[02:35.37]I thought life would get more real or something more fast
[02:37.75]But it didn't
[02:38.87]When I look at your son, though
[02:40.08]Life's hidden meanings come to the front of my vision
[02:42.64]And it's weird, the way I see it right now, it's so strong
[02:45.17]I'd never be the person I'd become if you would never gone
[02:48.19]Everything's connected, right? Everything's connected
[02:50.43]And even if I can't read it, right? Everything's a message
[02:52.06]We die so the others can be born
[02:55.85]We age so the others can be young
[02:58.42]The point of life is live, love
[03:00.16]If you can, then pass it on, right?
[03:03.16]We die so the others can be born
[03:06.77]We age so the others can be young
[03:08.71]The point of life is live, love
[03:11.03]If you can, then pass it on
