[Lyric] Past Tense (Joystick! (USA))

Dearest Duck
It’s been a while. How ya been?
Where have you gone? Wasting away
You’re looking awfully sick and thin
I miss you

I still can’t believe that it’s interesting
Are you still trying to beat the demons you’re wrestling
Are you still trying to keep all your wounds from festering
You’re not the one my love can’t afford

Hey brother
Are you missing mom and dad?
I have to say that things are looking pretty bad
Where did you go?

I still must admit that it’s been depressing
It still doesn’t feel like the pain is lessening
It still doesn’t feel like I’ve been progressing
You’re not the one my love can afford
If I stand please take my hand
I see the lines drawn in the sand
And if I fall down I’ll stand back up

Dearest Paul
Have you tried reaching out again?
It’s been so long
I must admit that I’ve been feeling pretty sad
I’m barely just hanging on
