When I first met you – oh, a star was in your eye
Darker than a highway road and lonesome like the sky
I couldn’t read your face, but I swore that you had doubt
You burrowed deep in me – I couldn’t keep you out

Now it rains all day and turns my thoughts [bad word] Without you here with me I don’t know who to [bad word] And I wasn’t going to beg you, but I must
Don’t be dead, please, don’t be dead

You travel with me, you’re the bag I can’t unpack
It’s full of words I know I said and can’t take back
And I don’t believe it even standing by your grave
‘Cause you were wrong – you’re not a fake, you can be saved

So I lie awake at night and wonder where you are
Floating in the ocean deep, or sitting on a star
‘Cause your coat is in the backseat of my car
Don’t be dead, please, don’t be dead

I couldn’t stop your fall, couldn’t keep you from the lake
I still regret every last chance I didn’t take
I know I said some things, I swore - I was still mad
But you remain the greatest friend I’ve ever had

And I’m so lost without you - it’s such a sight to see
They say I’m imbalanced, they say I’m wobbly
 So, please, just one more miracle for me
Don’t be dead, please, don’t be dead

Don’t be dead, please, don’t be dead
