At The Wake

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So far from me

Stands a man known as disease

He's shaking all the hands of the people that he meets

(Chorus)

And now

you just dont see me anymore

I've been losing everything

You just dont see me anymore

I'll say goodbye

Since you left she's a mess

She regrets all the things

That she could have said but...

We fall asleep, never think about anything

We wake to the sound of a phone as it hits the ground

(Chorus)

And oh at the wake, at the wake

I will turn to see a face

Just a face, just a face

So surrounded by a name

What a name, what a name

And we never want to change

What you gave, what you gave

Never want to let go

So surround me

I need anything

And you, you're everything

I want to live like I did before all this hit

To sleep in your arms

To think, we'll never fall apart

And oh, you know its

You know its such a drag

To live your life for a heart attack

To never get a second chance to say goodbye

So say goodbye

I'll never get to try

(Chorus)
