A train crashed
and everything slows down
i was wishing i could get out of this town
these dreams we've had
have never made you cry
and i am not a twinkle in your eye
but i've got to get out of here
cuz you drive me up the wall
i've got to get out of here
cuz i can't stand to fall
And if i die
see you won't be so close to me
and i won't be the one
who sticks around
if i'm awake
see you won't go to sleep, i promise
and i won't be the one
who lets you down
Tailgates, long talks
and your superficial friends
shiny, silver fords
that lead us to dead ends
and i said do you lick these salty wounds
that you, yourself condone
i sit, wait, and i'm all alone
but i can't go home
'cause you're my home
If i die
see you won't be so close to me
and i won't be the one
who sticks around
if i'm awake
see you won't go to sleep, i promise
and i won't be the one
who lets you down
no, i won't let you down
no, i won't let you down
Tell me where you are tonight
and is everything alright?
do you remember what i said,
while he's sleeping in your bed?
tell me now you smile hard
cuz i don't smile much so far
and is he everything you need?
is he everything i couldn't be?
does he make everything match better?
bring you all the shiny weather that you want
and is he everything
everything i'm not
And if i die
you won't be so close to me
and i won't be the one
who sticks around
if i'm awake
see you won't go to sleep, i promise
and i won't be the one
who lets you down
no, i won't let you down
no, i won't let you down
i won't let you down
i won't let you down
