Portabelly - You Know Best Lyrics

My brother is the tallest man I know
He buys you flowers
He sets them at your headstone
So it goes, so it goes
It's a new year
So I thought I'd stop by and say hi
What are you doing tonight?
Yeah, I'm aware that I'm talking to myself
But I don't care
Casual conversation is all that I have left of you to show
It's a necessary end
Absent like the honey on your breath
Now you're not there to tell me
All the stupid things I say and do
They don't make sense
Cause you know best
It's been a while
Since you called or came to visit
I know you're busy
So don't worry about it
I'll give you a minute
We can talk when you get finished
I've become quite patience now
Can you believe it
Yeah, I'm aware that I'm talking to myself
But I don't care
Casual conversation is all that I have left of you to show
It's a necessary end
Absent like the honey on your breath
Now you simply can't remember
All the times you held your tongue
And the reasons that might be a good thing
Cause you know best
