Kelly Time

Well, videotapes and ice skates
Are beautiful things
Like a birthday card for Johnny
And a pair of angel wings

You were trying to light a fire
And all you wanted was a match
But you knew I didn’t have one
So it was odd that you should ask

No, it wasn’t just the plane crash
That shook you to the core
But the very thought of losing her
That made it all worth dying for

I’m sorry
I’m sorry

We both washed up on that island
All alone without a friend
Thinking you and I were gonna die there
And that would be the end

But as the weeks turned into months
I saw you overcome your fears
And as we became companions
All those months turned into years

When we would talk and talk for hours
You would make sure I felt heard
Cuz you knew what I was saying
Though I never said a word

Ooh, I’m ready for anything
Ooh, who knows what the tide could bring
Ooh, yeah, I’m ready for anything
Ooh, who knows what the tide could bring

After fifteen hundred days
You and me escaped to sea
And I knew that you still loved the girl
From Memphis, Tennessee

Out there on that lonely ocean
We met a passing humpback whale
Cuz all the way from Bakersfield
The tide gave us a sail

And just like that, it happened
The waves took me away
And I’m sorry, I’m so sorry
That you lost a friend that day

Ooh, I’m ready for anything
Ooh, who knows what the tide could bring
Ooh, yeah, I’m ready for anything
Ooh, who knows what the tide could bring

Well, you and me went on a journey
Full of tragedy and pain
But I’m grateful I was with you
Through the sunshine and the rain

And when I wonder where you are now
I’ll probably never know
But my friend, I hope you made it
And somehow, you finally made it home

I have an ocean worth of questions
But if I do know one thing
It’s that the sun will rise tomorrow
And who knows what the tide could bring?

Goodbye, my friend
I’ll never forget you

Hey Kelly, are you there? Pick up!
I know I said I’d be back
And like that, nobody knew where I was at
All my logic said I would never see you again

After four years of missing you so bad
But here I am
And now I have to learn to let you go
Even though

I love you more than you’ll ever know
I’m getting used to half a heart and the way things are
But Kelly, I never should’ve gotten out of the car
I’m sorry

Ooh, I’m ready for anything
Ooh, who knows what the tide could bring
Ooh, yeah, I’m ready for anything
Ooh, who knows what the tide could bring

I’m sorry for everything
But nobody knows what the tide could bring
You know?
Nobody knows what the tide could bring

Videotapes and ice skates
Are beautiful things
Like a pocket watch on Kelly Time
And a pair of angel wings

Oh, and the birthday card to Johnny
It made me realize
That the most beautiful thing in the world
Is, of course, the gift of life
The most beautiful thing in the world
Is to be so wonderfully alive
