Jack's Mannequin - Dear Jack lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Dear Jack,<br>

I'll write you as a friend<br>

Dear friend,<br>

I fear the end is coming soon<br>

To you it's not so clear<br>

It's clear to me<br>

It's clear as glass<br>

Dear Jack, Dear Jack, Dear Jack,<br>

Dear Hope<br>

Attach it to the end of your rope<br>

A rope that wove ambition in with sorrow<br>

Distancing tomorrow, tomorrow's come and past.<br>

Dear Jack, Dear Jack<br>

<br>

You were the fighter<br>

I was the kid against the world<br>

I heard there's nothing gonna hold you down<br>

I'll use a lighter so you can see what isn't there<br>

We'll swing at air<br>

Swinging off eventually you're bound<br>

Bound to the ground<br>

<br>

Dear Jack<br>

Wherever you are hold tight<br>

Wherever he is shine light right there<br>

Be strong I dare<br>

I know it's hard I will wait<br>

I will wait, yeah.<br>

<br>

You were the fighter<br>

I was the kid against the world<br>

I heard there's nothing gonna hold you down<br>

I'll use a lighter so you can see what isn't there<br>

We'll swing at air<br>

Swinging off eventually you're bound<br>

Bound to the ground<br>

<br>

I, I had songs for you<br>

I had all your music written out<br>

The words came when I heard you screaming<br>

I, I, I, I had plans for you<br>

Until the plans fell through<br>

Now there is no turning back my dear Jack<br>

<br>

You were the fighter<br>

I was the kid against the world<br>

I heard there's nothing gonna hold you down<br>

I'll use a lighter so you can see what isn't there<br>

We'll swing at air<br>

Swinging off eventually you're bound<br>

You're bound to the ground<br>

And oh, oh, oh<br>

We're bound to the ground<br>

Bound to the ground<br>

We're bound to the ground<br>

<BR><BR>
