Wish We Could - Dead Silent

Found your place

Now I can’t find you

Look my way

I’m right behind you

We will always be

I wish we could

I wish we could

You said you’d never write a song about me

So here’s some lyrics that I wrote about you

Last night I had a dream that you had everything you ever wanted

And now I’m scared that it might come true

You ever wonder what’s like inside your friends' minds?

Knowing we don’t have the same drive

You ever wonder why we quit asking to Facetime?

I need to face it, your pace is already changing

We won’t ever live the same lives

You can’t admit you’ve been too busy to stay in mine

I’m frustrated, you quit keeping me updated

You used to tell me that everybody would be alright

But I no longer believe it, I’ve been infuriated

And you’re the reason I’ve been hanging with other guys

But I really just compare them to you

I know you think that it’s pathetic, how I’ve been competitive

But from my perspective everybody wants attention from you

You got to open for my favorite band last week

And all I wanted was a picture to be happy

You know I had no way to get to the show

But your ego’s making you feel like I’m not good enough to go

With you, I used to feel we had a similar rhythm

Really wish that I could get this anger out of my system

But I’ve been holding back on all of my feelings

With you invalidating mine like you’re the only human with them

I saw the things you couldn’t see in yourself

But now I’m looking up at somebody else

Swear that you were dope and so creative, somewhere that faded

And left a silhouette a man hating what gets close to him

I knew Dead Silent before the name stuck

But I probably never will once the pay does

I fell in love with your record but all you did was complain

Steady criticized the people that helped you get to this place, but you

Found your place

Now I can’t find you

Look my way

I’m right behind you

We will always be

I wish we could

I wish we could

Afraid to speak my mind when I’m around you

Void of all emotion, impossible to ever tell what your mind’s thinking

My ears are ringing when your mouth moves

Used to love the sound of your voice, now I’m wishing that it was soundproof

And this is you being content where you’re at

So why am I so terrified of how you’ll react

I’m proud of you and always will be

You made it clear that you’ll be doing this without me

Found your place

Now I can’t find you

Look my way

I’m right behind you

We will always be

I wish we could

I wish we could

Yeah, I’ve been avoiding the topic

Just to never give you the pleasure of having a song about you

Maybe it’s what left of my ego

Or maybe you’ve been holding too tightly to lines but never read in between

those

I’m hard to read, but not intentionally

I treat my free time as a delicacy

You act like I’ve been doing this music thing all professionally

Really I don’t know where it’s going

And I’ve been blowing off the people that wanna say they support me

Then go and wonder why stopped hitting me up

I ain’t trying to ignore you

I wish I could restore this circle that we had

But at this point it’d be forced

It’s too late to recover exactly

I don’t know how to spell it

Our lives just grow in separate directions

I’m loving your independence

I’m glad we both are growing

Away from the pessimism that brought us both to our lowest
