lyrics

You were just bones, love
A skeleton with a smile
I held you and you cracked saying “It’s been a while”
That night we laughed and ate candy out of your hazmat bag
Chinese with your parents, a beer with your Dad

If we could just stay there in my memories
We’ll forget death or famine, war and disease
The hospital white reflects in your face
These beeping machines say all the things that you can’t say
I don’t want to remember you this way

They gave you a pill to lighten your pain
You swore you say teenage pop stars on the brink of their fame
It’s so hard to lose someone when they’re already gone
Three generations cried all the way home

If we could just stay there in my memories
We’ll forget death or famine, war and disease
The hospital white reflects in your face
These beeping machines say all the things that you can’t say
I don’t want to remember you this way

The last time I heard from you it was a 3am call
You made me feel wanted and then walked me to my car
Sealed your promise with a kiss, you’ll call when you get back to town
I never heard from you again, I hope you hear this now

If we could just stay there in my memories
We’ll forget death or famine, war and disease
The hospital white reflects in your face
These beeping machines say all the things that you can’t say
I don’t want to remember you this way
