Philadelphia (Patreon)

How’s it like in California?

Are your classes starting soon?

Is it all you thought you wanted?

Are you happy in your room?

I seldom asked about you

When you were still here

Does the food compare to home?

Is it cold out in the sun?

Are our cousins doing well?

And are your friends a lot of fun?

I seldom asked about you

When you were still here

I’m not the brother you deserved

Am I wrong, am I absurd

When I wish I could’ve loved you more

How’s it like here in Manila?

Haven’t seen you out in days

But I haven’t been out either

Seems there’s both of us to blame

I know we seldom get to talk

Even though you’re still here

But I hope you find a job

That makes you happy when you’re there

And I hope you find the one

Who gives you all the love and care

And gives you all the time I’m losing with you

While you are still here

I’m not the brother you deserved

Am I wrong, am I absurd

When I wish I could’ve loved you more

Oh I wish I’d kept my word

But my soul’s six feet under dirt

Still I wish I could’ve loved you more

And how could I forget

Tell me how can I forget

The sister of the second verse

The strangest soul I’ve ever met

I’m glad your brother gives you all the love he can

While you are still here

Maybe you three will never know this

Though I try as best I can

While I’m trying to find my way

And trying to be a better man

I’d give everything to see you happy

I hold you all dear
