Lyrics:
We used to get high together, instead of getting high alone.
I can't remember the last time I saw you.
I can't remember the last time we talked.
You left home for a fresh start,
Working as a waitress down in Bradenton.
With my name tattoo'd into your skin.
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability
I am numbing myself completely.
Can you hear me right now?
I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes.
It wasn't her words that shook me, it was the resemblance you shared.
Don't it feel so detached and unreal? Don't it seem so far away?
Like the past never happened, or like nothings ever changed.
With your casket open in front of me,
Your eyes closed and your lips silent.
With my name tattoo'd into your skin.
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability
I am numbing myself completely.
Can you hear me right now?
I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes.
It wasn't her words that shook me, it was the resemblance you shared.
I didn't listen to the preacher.
I couldn't look your husband in the eyes.
I'm not sure what I meant to you then,
So I'm not sure what I owe you now.
But if something I said hurt you
I swear it was not my intention.
With your name tattoo'd into my skin.
Because of the shame I associate with vulnerability
I am numbing myself completely.
Can you hear me right now?
I watched your mother bury you today, with tears in her eyes.
It wasn't her words that shook me, it was the resemblance you shared.
Against Me! is an American punk rock band formed in 1997 in Gainesville, Florida, by singer and guitarist Laura Jane Grace. Since 2001, the band's lineup has also included guitarist James Bowman. After releasing three studio albums through independent record labels, Against Me! moved to Sire Records for 2007's New Wave, which reached no. 57 on the Billboard 200. In 2011, the band launched their own record label, Total Treble, through which to release future albums.

Good to see you posting regularly again!

[@Kaaylaac]

agree with this!!

[@eliannagravelle3353]

this song is hard to play simply because of how tough it to get the words out without feeling that huge ball in your throat that makes you sad...

[@jennfiorentino]

I agree, such a deep song

[@dbzmrpopo]

this songs gets me every time

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

Blessed with the ability to play the instrument a bit after years of hammering away. That ball makes me " shut up and play." Secretly.. I try alone finding harmony with voice and chords. I entertain myself. Jenn entertains many. Play and sing sweet girl!🎵🎶🎸

[@mattyb567567]

@@gregorytoddsmith9744 that's awesome.

[@teletoonfan]

Laura wrote some of the most profound lyrics I've ever heard

[@AndrewBarker85]

I love that she covered this song… been keeping a eye on her for over a decade. Always impressed

[@thejondohhshow]

I watched Laura sing this one about 20 times in a barn here on KZbin, now this one. Nice job!

[@kruzthompson1675]

Great way to kick Saturday off.

[@Monkey-xq5yr]

Really good cover

[@keithchalmers7558]

I love that thing she does when she's listening to the fade. For the most part it is the authenticity that I listen for. It's like your listening to raw effort. I also like J.R.Byrd. His song Robot Monkey with Bob Peterno is a favourite of mine.

[@EddieOakes]

A personal favorite song of mine. So well done. Great job covering this awesome song?! 👏

[@NoUseForAPseudo]

Glad to see that you continue to publish your videos with always the same voice! Thank you so much !

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Christ. This song is like a little of everyone I've ever lost, somehow. 😕 Tom Gabel was a huge inspiration to me long ago, and Laura Jane still is. Thanks. Great work.

[@rainemara1755]

It’s cool you’re still a supporter of hers but I feel compelled to mention it is entirely unnecessary to name her by her former name. Agreed she was amazing before and now, and this cover rips!

[@lowellcalavera6045]

@@rainemara1755 I don't need your validation that "it's cool", nor do I need you to give me your opinion on my (very supportive) comment. A boy named Tom Gabel was born, grew up, and existed. I saw him often in clubs and in concerts, even spoke with him once. Now, she's Laura Jane Grace, and I've loudly supported her actions. Mind your own fucking business.

[@jumptopro886]
