lyrics

There was once
A great man living in a shoebox
He'd bring us candy and toys
A true white-bearded marvel

One day he took off
And we never saw him again
But oh Jacob today I found you
You were lying in a ditch just out of town
I really wanted to save you
But your soul had already left
--
And here I am alone
Imagining myself talking to you
And you know, Jacob, I'll miss you
I think I already do

I really miss the times we'd play outside in the yard as kids
You'd wear your fake white beard
And we were wizard and knight
Together we'd save the world
And kill all kinds of bad things
Jacob, I really miss you
But I'm sure you're much happier now
--
I heard of your depression
And your numerous suicide attempts
I wish I was there to help you
But I never even bothered to contact
And oh Jacob how I'm sorry
I could've at least tried

But I never did
And now you've finally succeeded
And I know I might end up just like you
But I don't want to bear the guilt
Of people feeling just how I feel
Thinking of you
--
Oh Jacob how I miss you
But I'm sure we'll meet again
