[Lyric] Jessica (Ben Howard)

[Verse 1]
Young girl of only 19
Beautiful smile
Looked just like her dream
Her parents were so proud
Came from the southern counties
Deep Blue eyes
Saw more than I see
Hair blew with the wind

[Verse 2]
Goes to a party
Everyone turns to see
Beautiful Jessica of only 19
Out on the same night
Two middleweights got into to many fights
But they were ok
Yeah they were alright
Alright, alright

[Chorus]
One man says to the other
"Wouldn't it be nice to get mе a lover?"
The other onе turns round and says
"Don't you remember, don't you forget
It was only last December
That girl you called Julliet
You've had more than me"
[Verse 3]
Someone hits the side of the car
Pale faces baby its a night of alarm
They stop 50 yards down the road
Walking back they see tyre marks
Under a sycamore tree
Walking back they see Jessica's eyes
Bright as bright as can be

[Chorus]
One man says to the other
"I think we better get out of here
I don't wanna be on the TV news
I don't wanna be on the TV news"

[Verse 4]
Hearts racing for the rest of the night
Fears of the wrong and the right
Seconds turning
Your world fades to blue
Jessica's heart stopped beating
Under the star light
And the sirens bleeping
Morals of humankind left by the side of the road

[Chorus]
One man says to the other
"I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe in this world
Everyway I look I see
I see the shuddering cold
I can feel the the Devil
The Devil on my shoulder
Hmm, on my shoulder
On my shoulder"
[Verse 5]
One man of only honestly
Made a mistake for which
He can never never be free
Let the gates of heaven judge his soul
Falling to the sea below
The sea below

[Verse 6]
Meanwhile in another part of town
Cops trying to earn his crown
Trying to fight for justice
He just doesn't know
Justice lives at the bottom of the soul

[Verse 7]
Walking back he sees tire marks
Under a sycamore tree, oh
Walking back he sees this man this man
Can never be free
Goes to the house on the same night
Finds the man he needs to his delight
Puts him in a jail house which such a rat deserves
Such a rat deserves

[Chorus]
One man says to the other
"Where are you, where are you, where are you brother?
Where are you when I needed you most?
Where are you, where are you, where are you brother?
Where are you when I needed you most?"
[Verse 8]
Sitting in a 6 foot cell
Dreams that could of been accomplished
It's a living hell
Tears fall from his eyes
Fall from his eyes

[Bridge]
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He’s crying, he's crying
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He’s crying, he's crying
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He’s crying, he's crying
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud now
He's crying so loud God can hear
So loud God can hear

[Outro]
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Love can you hear me now?
Oh can you hear me now?
