You were skin and bone, knobby knees, runny nose
Three in the back seat no air-conditioning no heat
Fighting with your brothers all the way to the folks'
Piggy in the middle never sat by the window
Can you hear me calling?
I'm the wind through your door
I'm the living room flickering light
When you called on me I was 6' 4
But I was high as a kite
When you were growing up did you have enough?
With your little girl glasses and your sack cloth clothes
I drank too much I pissed it all away
I wish my life wasn't such a cliché
The dog in the backyard barks all night
I'm right here just on the other side
And I wish I could have done more
I could have done more
Oh I wish I could have done more
I could have done more
I could have done more
