When I first met you – oh, a star was in your eye Darker than a highway road and lonesome like the sky I couldn’t read your face, but I swore that you had doubt You burrowed deep in me – I couldn’t keep you out
Now it rains all day and turns my thoughts to rust Without you here with me I don’t know who to trust And I wasn’t going to beg you, but I must Don’t be dead, please, don’t be dead
You travel with me, you’re the bag I can’t unpack It’s full of words I know I said and can’t take back And I don’t believe it even standing by your grave ‘Cause you were wrong – you’re not a fake, you can be saved
So I lie awake at night and wonder where you are Floating in the ocean deep, or sitting on a star ‘Cause your coat is in the backseat of my car Don’t be dead, please, don’t be dead
I couldn’t stop your fall, couldn’t keep you from the lake I still regret every last chance I didn’t take I know I said some things, I swore - I was still mad But you remain the greatest friend I’ve ever had
And I’m so lost without you - it’s such a sight to see They say I’m imbalanced, they say I’m wobbly So, please, just one more miracle for me Don’t be dead, please, don’t be dead
