[Verse 1: Time]
Walking through the parking lot in the afternoon
I was looking in the sky then I saw a balloon
Funny thing was it reminded me of you
It showed me how the body and the soul were 2
Like Lorca said we're all cotton in the wind
I never really cry I just release it with a pen
But it gets real hard when you keep on losing friends
I act like it's pretend till it happens again
Walking through a ghost town breathing in the fog
Talking to my memories making up the dialogue
She was just a child yesterday now she's gone
This isn't an ode it's therapy through a song
Six foot potholes, elevator tombstones
Pain in my stomach from the vacant room at home
She went in her cocoon to early in her life
Then came on out as a butterfly knife

[Hook: Time & Giuseppe]
Why did you go baby why did you go?
Why did you go where the dead folk go?
Why did you go baby why did you go?

[Verse 2: Giuseppe]
Woke up yesterday morning feeling distorted
In my mind's eye he was still there looking important
And I hated that realizing you're not longer with us
We miss you, can't imagine what it's gonna be at Christmas
Without you, held us together for all these years
Wipe the tears back from my eyes no longer clear
Foggy path but than I see you there parting the clouds
I asked you why you left you said "it's over now"
And then you smiled, the image remained stable
But my memory unable to handle it
Until you crept back on some vandal shit
The candle lit moving forward but the past is getting heavy
Damn, my tears need a levy
Regardless you know where my heart is
I could never forget and that part is the hardest
Emotions running that I never could show
One question, why did you have to go?
[Hook: Time & Giuseppe]
Why did you go baby why did you go?
Why did you go where the dead folk go?
Why did you go baby why did you go?

[Verse 3: Time]
Dropping bouquets in cemeteries never help
I guess it aides the living dead to dissipate the guilt
You said you'd never leave me then you got your passport
To a place I could never go cause life is too short
I tried to find you a couple times with them orange bottles
Or driving through the mountains drinking wine full throttle
We used to blow up pop cans on the fourth of july
Now I just shoot prayers and questions to the sky
We had goals and dreams, now I just have nightmares
And I still call your phone thinking that you might be there
Amelia Earhart I can't send you my ear
I'm no Van Gogh, I'm more Dali than Vermeer
I'm in the Bermuda Triangle looking for Atlantis
So maybe you're in Oz and I'm looking in Kansas
And when it's finally time for me to go to my coccoon
I'm a meet you up there so save me some room

[Hook: Time & Giuseppe]
Why did you go baby why did you go?
Why did you go where the dead folk go?
Why did you go baby why did you go?
