Lyrics
Time is a joke
The punchline is weighing on me
Drifting away in the summer breeze
Cough through the smoke
Ashes will cover concrete
Burning the lines we could have written
Will we ever be forgiven?
And I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for you
Through my granddaughter's eyes
Am I enough for this world?
So heavy to hold the burden she weighs on me
I cannot lay back and rest easily
And I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for you
For you
For you
For you
And so far I hope I'm not so bad
And so far I hope that I made you proud
And so far I've tried to be kind
And leave this world a little bit better
And I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for you
And I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for
I want to be the best for you
For you
For you
For you
