I was fourteen
My brother was twenty
When my dad sat me down
And told me you'd left me
I never listened when they called you crazy
I see so much of you in me lately
I wrote a song for you
And it's called hide + seek
You never heard it but I, I got it tattooed on me
And I'd love to see you sitting in your chair
Smoking away, beautifully unaware
I wonder what it's like to die
Sometimes you cross my mind
Well that's a fucking lie cause you're on my mind
All of the time
I wonder what it's like to die
Got in the taxi after my London show
And your favourite song came on the radio
I cried a little then I stopped
Oh, you know I can't hide it
I miss you so much
It was Christmas day when my mum found you
She puts on a brave face but I can see right through
But your mind was beautiful, unusual, so loveable
But you were beautiful, unusual, so loveable
I wonder what it's like to die
Sometimes you cross my mind
Well that's a fucking lie cause you're on my mind
All of the time
I wonder, what it's like to die?
