Intro

Verse

Dear Avery, I think of you only

Were you waving? Were you dead on the vine?

Oh Avery, I think of you lonely

But I could just grab you by the nape of your neck

Chorus

There are times life will rattle your bones and will bend your limbs

You're still far and away the boy you've ever been

So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made

But don't you shake alone

Please Avery-y-y-y, come home

Verse

):

Headstrong, you and your long arms

Listing lazily on the cusp of your teens

But you were my Avery and when you needed saving

I could just grab you by the nape of your neck

Chorus

There are times life will rattle your bones

And will bend your limbs

You're still far and away the boy you've ever been

So you bend back and shake at the frame

Of the frame you made

But don't you shake alone

Please Avery, come home

(Don't you shake alone!)

Please Avery-y-y-y, come home
