(album: Good Mourning)

I´ve got a dying urge to feel the way you do
Too close for comfort, bed and breakfast in a spoon
The shortest breath of your young life
A long walk home on Friday night
You made one last stop at the store

So close to perfect, swear to hell, thought it was you
This bouncing baby boy´s now turning baby blue
I´ve got your pictures on my walls
I´ve got a long list of calls I must make to your existing family

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed ´em up
Your final coffin nail´s been driven far too much
This won´t take long, you said, I´m not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

I often wonder what it feels like to be you
A mess like this stuck on your hands with crazy glue
Ran out of time, no kiss goodbye
Wish I could learn to let this sleeping dog die without lying to myself

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed ´em up
Your final coffin nail´s been driven far too much
This won´t take long, you said, I´m not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car

You had nine lives and one by one you chewed ´em up
Your final coffin nail´s been driven far too much
This won´t take long, you said, I´m not going far
Go wait in the car
Go wait in the car
