Do You Remember

Do you remember teaching me how to swim in the deep end?

Do you remember running around in the dark wearing bright neon red?

Do you remember sitting at the pond watching planes fly overhead?

Do you remember hanging with the wrong crowds and getting mislead?

When we went fishing on that boat do you remember what I said?

I said, “I hope you never leave me”.

Sitting at breakfast the next morning, my mom comes up tells me “there’s been an accident”

Heart starts racing, curiosity pouring, hearing my mom on the call it was so alluring

That’s when it happened, she tells me Marcel is dead

I ran up to my room and laid out my bed, tears pouring into my pillow

I curled up in a ball, like an armadillo.

I still to this day say to myself, that you ain't the type

I still say to myself you would have stayed to fight

I honestly can’t believe you took your life

All you had to do was call me, I would have come over and stayed the night

See but now I'm happy for you, you took flight

You may be gone but you're still reaching new heights

I don’t understand how people could have been so impolite

I guess they just didn't see you in all your glory and might

See but talking about this now has me uptight

Back in the day, you were the king and I was like your royal knight.

You were like a brother to me oh so blight.
