Jack's Mannequin Dear Jack lyrics

Dear Jack
I'll write you as a friend
Dear friend
I write for fear the end is coming soon
To you it's not so clear
It's clear to me
It's clear as glass
Dear Jack, Dear Jack
Dear Hope,
Attach it to the end of your rope
A rope that wove ambition in with sorrow
Distancing tomorrow
Oh, tomorrow's come and passed
Dear Jack, Dear Jack

You were the fighter
I was the kid against the world
I heard, there's nothing gonna hold you down
I'll use a lighter
So you can see what isn't there
We'll swing at air
Swing enough eventually you're bound,
I'm bound to the ground

Dear Jack,
Wherever you are hold tight
Wherever he is,
Shine light, right there
Be strong, I dare
I know it's hard but I will wait
I will wait

You were the fighter

I was the kid against the world
I heard, there's nothing gonna hold you down
I'll use a lighter
So you can see what isn't there
We'll swing at air
Swing enough eventually you're bound,
You're bound to the ground

I, I had songs for you
I had all your music written out
The words came when I heard you screaming
I, I, I, I had plans for you
Until the plans fell through
Now there is no turning back my dear Jack


You were the fighter
I was the kid against the world
I heard, there's nothing gonna hold you down
I'll use a lighter
So you can see what isn't there
We'll swing at air
Swing enough eventually you're bound,
We're bound to the ground
And oh,
We're bound to the ground, bound to the ground
We're bound to the ground

Took a good listen to it and these seem to be closer.
