waiting for release
you sit behind the bars
thinking about what youve done
no matter what you did
ill be here for you
even if it is no fun
you know now you shouldnt have done what you did
but now it is too late
they are investigating what has happened
now all you can do is wait
wait yo know when you get out
out of that place
figure out when i can see your face
for i havent seen you since october at the wedding
i would like to come and visityou
afraid the parents wouldnt like the setting
so for now i will have to go and say a sad goodbye
but whenevr you need someone remember your cousin skye xoxox
