My weakness
Is my sisters name
Flooding through the room
Across these waters, who really knows what to say
Her red hair like a flame,
And my mothers shade, the same
Oh i can feel her, feel her here
In this broken house of ours
That's tearing us apart
And keeping her inside picture frames and tears
I am so so sorry
I was looking for peace
In the graveyard you've been haunting
In the places you try to sleep
1982 has you
My silence does more than speech
Quietly asking what she needs
Our mother's down the hall
And she's not fine at all
I don't know how to be who she wants to see
Maybe you want me to be strong
Or maybe you don't care at all
Or maybe I'm not enough to set her free
Still i am trying, can't you see it
There's cards and there's photographs
And she tells me who she thought you'd be
Before the other side took you back
But 1982 has you
My weakness is my mother's tears
Or maybe it's the words you'd say if you were here
I've seen the sky bend past the break and bend back again
And this time I'll survive I'll put the safety on and say
Oh friend, please
I only see you in my sleep
When I close my eyes and you
Come alive in dreams
1982 has you
