I'll be right behind you, Josephine I won't leave you waiting in between And the cigarette you bummed from me is almost burning out You suck it till your fingers burn, then you throw it to the ground
I'll be right behind you, Josephine Even after everything we've seen seen In this sterile room with blinding lights and faces pointing down I only want to scream but still I just can't make a sound
Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath There's nothing in this world we really own And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out The only thing I'd feel is less alone
I'll be right behind you, Josephine I won't leave you waiting in this dream While you watch the people speaking words you can't quite comprehend You ask me if I'd pinch you but my fingers wouldn't bend
Hey, don't you know my name is Jacqueline Just like it was when we were seventeen You have known me all my life. Right now we are 34. Do I look like I'm not living in the same skin anymore.
I'll be right behind you, Josephine Even when my soul's an amputee And my bleeding heart is sinking in the lake inside my chest So I grab what I can cling to and I leave behind the rest
Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath There's nothing in this world we own And if you had my heart torn out I'd feel less alone
