lyrics
When I drive to Hayley’s house
I pass by the hospital where you died
I watched you breathe in and
Watched struggle to breathe out
Narrated by Mount Eerie
I drive as fast as I can
To pass through a moment in time
Only relative to where I am
I say goodbye
One more time
I hope you feel pretty when you wake up cause you deserve to feel something akin to self love
Devotion is tough
I don’t feel it enough
You said devotion is tough
But you never show up
I hope that you hear this before you go to bed
I have bad thoughts stirring around in my head
You make me think clearer and you make me forget
The image of him in the hospital bed
Tie the bricks to my wrist
Tell me to swim if I can
