Crispy blazer, trouser creases
Careful, caring and clean shaven with a dash of aftershave
All the boardgames you could win
Before I got tall enough to shake your hand
Make me laugh, once again
Arguably we were always swimming against the tide
Tom and Jerry in the afternoon
Broke too soon and I'll never tell you
All I wanted was for you to better
Every illness they could throw at you
I can't remember what I wore
Miss your crosswords on my arrival,
Miss you picking berries in photos in my diary
Everything I missed when you weren't
Relive everything I dreamed and tell me I'm mad
To miss something I never saw
Saw you fall to the lounge room floor
If only I'd known to make you laugh
All I wanted was for you to better
Every illness they could throw at you
20 years too late and you'd say you missed something
But really, I missed the best part of you
Tell me I can't long for this
Tell me I've held onto this
It's all interwoven with your humble relief
The only section that never came around for me
To photosynethesise
And reproduce your swell
