I'll Be Right Behind You Josephine

I'll be right behind you, Josephine

I won't leave you waiting in between

And the cigarette you bummed from me is almost burning out

You suck it till your fingers burn, then you throw it to the ground

I'll be right behind you, Josephine

Even after everything we've seen seen

In this sterile room with blinding lights and faces pointing down

I only want to scream but still I just can't make a sound

Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath

There's nothing in this world we really own

And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out

The only thing I'd feel is less alone

I'll be right behind you, Josephine

I won't leave you waiting in this dream

While you watch the people speaking words you can't quite comprehend

You ask me if I'd pinch you but my fingers wouldn't bend

I'll be right behind you, Josephine

Just like I was when we were seventeen

I guess that's only been a year but still it feels like 34

I don't feel like I am living in the same skin anymore

Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath

There's nothing in this world we really own

And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out

The only thing I'd feel is less alone

I'll be right behind you, Josephine

Even when my soul's an amputee

And my bleeding heart is sinking in the lake inside my chest

So I grab what I can cling to and I leave behind the rest

Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath

There's nothing in this world we really own

And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out

The only thing I'd feel is less alone

Now hold my hand, and take my breath

And leave behind the things you'll never own

And Jesus Christ, please tear my heart out

I wanna feel a little less alone
