You told a joke when we were young
About the 27 club
And now that you’ve gained your membership
I can’t help but remember it
But I know
Nothing is planned the way it reads backwards
There’s not a hand forcing us, no
I wasn’t born yesterday, that was
Such a long time ago.
Wasted, we spoke of suicide
And hoping the earth dried up and died
But knowing that we could talk like this
I didn’t mean a word of it
So it goes
You had a dream of waking up happy
Maybe that’s what not waking up is
I had a dream of both of us laughing
About how crazy this is
We will live again, I know
In different bodies
Working different part-time jobs
With different hobbies
And we will make it through this time
We will make it through this time
You saw the world and it was small
You ran from yourself and hit a wall
With nothing behind it but darkness
And you started punching holes in it
All alone
I saw your bloody knuckles and I said
Nothing because they looked like my own
I saw your picture all over Facebook
And let go of my phone
We will live again, I know
In different bodies
Working different part-time jobs
With different hobbies
And we will make it through this time
We will make it through this time
