Jessica

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (3)

He used to walk with Jessica  Down to the diner  They'd sit and talk for hours  About nothin' in particular  Just bullshit the time away  That's what she used to say  She'd wrinkle her nose when she said it  That's how you know she meant it  Jessica  Jessica She'd call him at nine a.m.  To see how sleep had been treatin' him  And though they were never lovers  They were soulmates under cover  They'd drink beer and sit around  Or just sit still and not make a sound  And he would shudder to think  Of what life would be like  Without his best friend -slash- shrink  Jessica Bridge:  She's an angel at his table  Forced to feel but not to see  Blinded by her absence  Haunted by her memory  If only you were able to see the angel at your table He got a phone call  From her mother  He said, "Yeah, right stop kidding around."  He felt his heart fall to the ground  Since then everyday  Seems to feel like winter  Everything is colorless  As he can't see it with her  Jessica  Jessica He could easily have been with her  Driving home in the car  It was her birthday  It's sick how things work out that way  Now at night when he sleeps  A watch over him she keeps  She whispers in his ear  For his heart to hear  Jessica  Jessica It's amazing how a soul can leave  Suddenly from a body  Rendering it useless  And stealing its desire to breathe  One moment here then gone  With no forwarding address  Love no longer has a house  Residence in flesh  Religion without a temple  No place to take your worship to  No God for the eyes to see  No fruit to lay at the feet  of Jessica  Jessica If only you were able to see  The angel at your table  Then you'd understand why  You never got to say goodbye  To Jessica  There's no such word as goodbye  For Jessica  She's always standing by  Jessica
