Lyrics

Flew to the edge of the state
Missouri kids chainsmoking cigarettes
I can't remember their names
They felt like the best friends i'd ever get

And you were like an artery
The only thing linking me to them
Truly i didn't belong
But i saw for a while
The life that left you behind

Lyrics continue below...

The world can just transform
A service, a concert, a record store
And i'm a blind spectator
The world that you knew
Strewn on the floor

So what should i say
That you're finally at peace now?
With your dead body
Wrapped in my t-shirt?

I wish i had talked to you more
The only night that we ever met
I didn't consider before
It might be the last chance i'd ever get

You were like a light at dawn
The only thing pushing me along
I don't know how you knew my songs
But i was so far from home
My heart barely hanging on

Perspective can change things
A stranger, an idol, an effigy
In lyrics, in concepts, in memory
There's something thats way bigger than me

Now with every word
That can barely leave my throat
And every chord i strum
You'll always be there

Death is a clear view
This will be forever now
You said that i'd helped you
But i'm the one who let you down
