Jack’s Mannequin - Dear Jack lyrics

Dear Jack i write you as a friend
Dear friend
I write for fear the end is coming soon
To you it's not so clear
It's clear to me, It's clear as glass
Dear Jack, Dear Jack, Dear Jack

Dear Hope attach it to the end of your rope
A rope that wove ambition in with sorrow
Distancing tomorrow
Tomorrow's come and passed
Dear Jack, Dear Jack

You were the fighter
I was the kid against the world
I heard there's nothing gonna hold you down
I'll use a lighter so you
Can see what isn't there we'll swing at air
Swing enough eventually you're bound
Bound to the ground

Dear Jack wherever you are hold tight
Wherever he is shine light right there
Be strong I dare
I know it's hard, but I will wait
I will wait, yeah

You were the fighter
I was the kid against the world
I heard there's nothing gonna hold you down
I'll use a lighter so you
Can see what isn't there we'll swing at air
Swinging enough eventually you're bound
Da da da bound to the ground, da da da

I, I had songs for you
I had all your music written out
The words came when I heard you screaming
I, I, I, I had plans for you
Until the plans fell through
Now there is no turning back my dear Jack

Oh, you were the fighter
I was the kid against the world
I heard there's nothing gonna hold you down
I'll use a lighter so you
Can see what isn't there we'll swing at air
Swinging enough eventually you're bound
Da da da
You're bound to the ground, da da da

And oh, oh, oh, da da da
We're bound to the ground
Bound to the ground
We're bound to the ground
