Lyrics

Written by butch walker

As she woke up for the final injection
The sickness was hard
When there was no one around
And it spread to her hands
And it spread to her legs
And they felt like the mud from the pond on the ground
That she played in as a kid
What she did to deserve this
While her friends were at parties
She was on the floor, with a mixture of blood
Sweat and tears by her head
That's when she said, can I be dead?
Yeah I've heard that before

So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you

Just hung the painting that we found of london
I never saw the beauty of that city before
As it sat in our basement next to board games and year books
With a faint smell of must, dust and dog food on the floor

So as I'm writing this thank you note
There's just one thing she wanted you to know
Just before she had to go, she said that she liked you

[Silence]

Seven hours 'til the moon sleeps
I lose my mind as I drive away
Your cigarettes are in the back seat
I cant bring myself to throw away

All of the the film from the camera
Took all the pictures of the images in my mind

So I'll drive a straight line
Right across a state line
Out into the ocean
In a moment I'll be gone
You won't have to feel torn

Past the churches full of guilded faith
Nursing their hangovers from last night
It wont me do me any good to pray
'Cos even god knows that you were right
And I was wrong, and it kills me
That my kid will never know me
With another man by his side

So I'll drive a straight line
Right across a state line
Out into the ocean
In a moment I'll be gone
You won't have to feel torn

Oh, woah-oh-oh oh

So I'll drive a straight line
Right across a state line
Out into the ocean
In a moment I'll be gone
So I'll drive a straight line
Right across a state line
Out into the ocean
In a moment I'll be gone
You won't have to feel torn..

Thinking of you with my last breath..
