Kelly Time

Well, videotapes
And ice skates are beautiful things
Like a birthday card for Johnny
And a pair of angel wings
You were tryna 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 losin' her
That made it all worth dyin' for

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

We both washed up on that island, all alone without a friend
Thinkin' 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
'Cause you knew what I was sayin'
Though I never said a word

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm ready for anything
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows
What the tide could bring?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, I'm ready for anything
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-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 passin' humpback whale
'Cause 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-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm ready for anything
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows
What the tide could bring?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, I'm ready for anything
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-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 ya 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?

Da-da-da-da-da-da, I'll never forget you
(Goodbye, my friend)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-ooh-ooh

(Hey, hey, hey) Hey, Kelly are you there?
Pick up, I know I said I'd be back
And like that, nobody knew where I was at
And all my logic said I would never see you again
After four years, I'm missin' 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 gettin' 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-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm ready for anything
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, who knows
what the tide could bring?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, I'm ready for anything
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-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
When 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
