Griffin Ford - M.I.A.

The train came in flush
I huffed and puffed like a chimney sweep
I didn't look look back
You didn't weep
I didn't see you for so many weeks

I ran outta luck
Slinging my stuff on the battlefield
I gave it a crack
But a counterattack
Rendered me utterly useless

I should've waved
I should've waited just that little longer
I should've written about you
I should've been smitten
I should've come to fruition

Inside your heart, there's a hearth
Where I can always go to sleep
And you and I know
That when I next go
I may not be returning

So I say goodbye and hello
And look down below
You should be expecting a delivery
Can't say when or where or how it might deploy
But it's deploying in your vicinity

I pray it's correct
And I hope you're content with its contents
You may return to sender
If I may bend and
Lavish the land that you walk upon

But I still didn't wave
I still didn't wait just that little bit longer
I didn't write about you
I wasn't right about you
I never completed my mission

Inside your heart, there's a hearth
Where I can always go to sleep
And you and I know
That when I next go
I may not be returning

I've come to the conclusion
There is no illusion
There's only what is in front of me
And if science can't prove it
Then I will remove it
With utmost and ultimate scrutiny

"Do you believe in the soul
When the body is gone?"
You wondered softly in the dark
First I spat out my drink
Then I gave it a think
And told you that I hope to god

You're right
You're right and you've always been right
I should've waved
I should've at least waved goodbye
