I just don't know how to phrase this Years have passed there are still traces And though your words are all but gone I want to sing an entirely different song We used to stare at the same sky We used to grieve under the same moon We used to get burned by the same sun But at least I had you as my passenger I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I used to sit upon your shoulders But now I'm 45 years old and I remember the glow from your pipe piercing through the dark And though I don't believe in heaven I'm desperate for your part I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I can't pick up myself right now I just can't seem to pick up myself
