[Verse 1]
Dear Jack
I 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 Jack

[Verse 2]
Dear Hope
Attach it to the end of your rope
A rope that wove ambition in with sorrow
Distancing tomorrow, tomorrow's come and passed
Dear Jack, Dear Jack

[Chorus]
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
Bound to the ground

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
Swinging enough eventually you're bound, da da da
Bound to the ground, da da da

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, 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
Swinging enough eventually you're bound, da da da
You're bound to the ground, da da da
[Outro]
And oh, oh, oh, da da da
We're bound to the ground
Bound to the ground
We're bound to the ground
