Oh no, oh no
its just too much to take.
all the books I read for help
don’t bring you back to me.
no they don’t fix anything.
In a dark, dark room
I read a letter that I wrote you.
there were songs I had to sing to you
and things I should have told you
while I had the chance to.
When Iowa police tried to take my life me
I called you on the phone to tell you that they couldn’t keep me from you.
I don’t know where we all go
why we all end up as ghosts
I will take you with me everywhere I go.
And now we toss, turn, repeat
keep looking for an end
but they never justify the means it takes to get to them
or why your heart stopped beating.

I don’t know where we all go
why we all end up as ghosts
I will take you with me everywhere I go.
We were just kids living for the weekend
with our heads in the impossible tension
we were bulletproof and innocent, we were kids living for the weekend.
