Dear

Saw you so still
So cold
You lay outside alone
Your eyes were still open inside
You left
On that summer night
Your mother was so confused
Her nose dug up dirt
Your bruise
She looked up at me
She spoke
"Why bother?
We're all just smoke"
Well, I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why
It could've been you
I drove back along the coast
With hanging grey trees so coarse
My passenger stayed asleep
Intoxicated deep
So I went home and stared
Out the window
I'm not prepared
If I'm just going to be the rose
You drop on my final home
It's starting to rain inside
Let's stay outside tonight
It's starting to rain inside
Let's stay outside tonight
It's starting to rain inside
Let's stay outside tonight
It's starting to rain inside
Let's stay outside tonight
It's starting to pour
