American Aquarium Waking Up The Echoes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How's your momma [?]
I haven't seen your folks in ages
She was always kind, had the best sweet tea high school me'd ever tasted
Weddings and funerals used to always get me down
These days they seem to be the only thing that ever brings me back to time

[Chorus]
And I wish you'da called me, maybe I coulda talked you down
But the thing that I wish most of all is that you were still around

[Verse 2]
I can't help but laugh about all the trouble that we got
Into in the back of that Short Sugar's parkin' lot
All the life we lived, all the plans that we'd discuss
Before Milwaukee's best snuck up and got the best of us [Chorus]
And I wish you'da called me, maybe I coulda talked you down
But the thing that I wish most of all is that you were still around

[Verse 3]
I still hear your voice when I cross that county line
Wakin' up the echoes in the canyons of my mind
Hold on to the good times, leave the bad ones for the plough
It ain't goodbye for ever friend, it's just goodbye for now

[Chorus]
And I wish you'da called me, maybe I coulda talked you down
But the thing that I wish most of all is that you were still around
I wish that you were still around
