Regarding Steven

Music & lyrics: john popper





Well i've guessed your name and i'm sure you know mine

I'd like to discuss our mutual friend

I can't help but feel that i left him behind

Does he still stay with you or did his pain ever end



I guess

I don't deserve to know

If he ever let go

I guess

I don't really need to see

If he wound up with you or did he ever break free



When we were both young, you took us in

And taught us to play survival games

He'd lost so much that you let him win

But i had a home so it just wasn't the same



I had the strength

To look you in the eye

And say goodbye

I was lucky

And i didn't have to play

Does he still stay with you or did he get away



I used what i had and i escaped

I smelled something good and i followed its track

But all he could smell was the world that you shaped

It took all my strength and i just couldn't look back



I remember him

Calling after me

I keep that memory

The last thing he screamed out aloud

Was "hey don't you leave me alone!"

Yeah he might live with you but he called me his home



I guessed your name and some day so will he

Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free

Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free

Cause one of these ides he's gonna break...
