A couple nights before
You asked how many more days
I said “You’re the boss”
I was at a loss

And then those days were gone
And I was holding on
Your eyes were fixed on me
And then

Here you go
There you go
There you go

No
No

After the towers came down
You called and said “I’ll come up”
Drove here for just one day
Four-hour trip each way

You said “How about I help you
Build a new bookshelf
We worked in perfect sync
No need to say a thing

And then before goodbyes
We drove down the west side
A swarm of choppers ripped through
The deep blue sky

You said “That doesn’t seem
Normal at all to me”
I said “Don’t worry, Dad”
But I was just as freaked as you

You know how to get home from here, right?
You know how to get home from here?

No
No
No
No
