Dearly departed eyes, no me
See me from the other side, so free
In the back of my mind, make me
Wanna be a better man

I wonder what you see in me, only
The young 23 to be, lonely
Living out your memory, makes me
Wanna be a better man

Yeah, someday in my future
I'll see you in places I aint never been
Places I aint never been
Yeah, it'll take some getting used to

Dearly forever skies, show me
How to live a better life, for me
Gazing in the story night, makes me
Wanna be a better man

I wonder what I should achieve, fowardly
Living after your release, coldly
Let the story tell, that I know you well
You made me into a man

Yeah, someday in my future
I'll see you in places I aint never been
Places I aint never been
Yeah, it'll take some getting used to

I take a look up at the grave
I'm watching what I say
I'm locking up my plans
And actions from my days
I got to be a man
I wants to be the way
I ought to be as high
You want me to behave
So hey, I put my pants on
One leg at a time
And in the back of my mind
You watching me from behind
Each moment I take a sip
A step across the line
I no your willing to talk
I'm just waiting for the time

Dearly departed eyes, no me
See me from the other side, so free
In the back of my mind, make me
Wanna be a better man

I wonder what you see in me, only
The young 23 to be, lonely
Living out your memory, makes me
Wanna be a better man

Yeah, someday in my future
I'll see you in places I aint never been
Places I aint never been
It'll take some getting used to
Being there
In places I aint never been
Places I aint never been
But I'll be with you, I'll be with you
