So many good CDs came out today, so did the dear jack movie from Jack’s Mannequin’s Andrew McMahon. Here is a song from the Dear Jack EP that came out today.

Jack’s Mannequin — Dear Jack

Dear Jack
I’ll write you as a friend
Dear Friend
I write I 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 (x2)
Dear Hope
Attach it to the end of your rope
A rope that wove ambition in with sorrow
Distancing tommorow, tomorrows come and past
Dear Jack (x2)

You were the fighter
I was the kid against the world
I heard theres nothing gonna hold you down
I’ll use a lighter so you can see what isn’t there
We’ll swing at air
Swinging off eventually you’re bound
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, yeah

You were the fighter
I was the kid against the world
I heard theres nothing gonna hold you down
I’ll use a lighter so you can see what isnt there
We’ll swing at air
Swinging off 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 theres nothing gonna hold you down
I’ll use a lighter so you can see what isn’t there
We’ll swing at air
Swinging off eventually you’re bound
You’re bound to the ground
And oh, oh, oh 
We’re bound to the ground
bound to the ground 
We’re bound to the ground
