I remember that night You fell asleep under the truck when it got late In the morning When I pulled out to look for you thank God I rolled out straight Nothing was ever too much Doing flips off the roof It's like you were cheating death left and right, but you still wanted proof I was thinking about you just yesterday How you were gonna stop by on your way I had some things that I wanted to talk you about I had some things that I wanted to say But now I stand here in your flannel shirt Your mom couldn't bear to give it to goodwill It's not even cold out but I wear it still You were always there when we hit the wall Now no one's gonna break our fall Break our fall Break our fall Break our fall Now no one's gonna break our fall We laughed until we got drunk, we drank until we fight Then we'd laugh again over my fat lip, while you were icing your eye But you got behind the needle, chasing the next high And then you managed to escape it You got that job and you married your wife I was thinking about you just yesterday How you were gonna stop by on your way I had some things that I wanted to talk to you about I had some things that I wanted to say But now I stand here in your flannel shirt Your mom couldn't bear to give it to goodwill It's not even cold but I wear it still You were always there when we hit the wall Now no one's gonna break our fall Break our fall, break our fall Break our fall Now no one's gonna break our fall I'll see you when I see you Oh this may be But I won't love you when I love you No that will always stay the same I won't feel you when I feel you 'Cause I feel you every day But I'll see you when I see you

He went to Hyannis to let go of Alice for the third and final time I asked him if it worked when he got back, he said he didn't have the time The time to tell me anything or the time to let her go But I guess it wasn't a good time to press So I guess I'll never know, I'll never know On the way back looking straight ahead, we were hypnotized by the road Saw the coins on the dashboard truck and decide that they could float In the air I looked down at the time, and mistook it for the radio I thought about the little choices we made along And the song played on as if it didn't know May we all be forsaken: Like the soldier trying to leave, the mother trying to sleep May we all be mistaken: About our current state, about the current of hate Bleeding on and on and on to sell our soul Asked me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe And I wanted to blame the roots of the trees For pushing up the concrete but now I know In the air I looked down at the time And mistook it for the radio I thought about the little choices we made along And the song played on as if it didn't know May we all be forsaken: Like the black man trying to breathe Or the woman that's never believed May we all be mistaken: About our current state, about the current of hate Bleeding on and on and on and sell our soul Ask me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe And I wanted to blame the roots of the trees For pushing up the concrete but now I know May we all be forsaken: Like the soldier trying to leave, the mother trying to sleep May we all be mistaken: About our current state, about the current of hate May we all be forsaken: Like the black man trying to breathe, or the woman that's never believed May we all be mistaken: About our current state, about the current of hate

Oh, do you know there's a place you can go It's a place that is weathered and worn But you can't stay there long Like the plow and the stone But you can wait if you'd like to be born Born to a dark heaven on earth Plagued by man's greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt Born also to the beauty of tomorrow Leading us back to the dirt The old oak tree watches us like we were bees Just flitting and frittering in the golden Everybody knows we all died yesterday And the day after that we were born Born to a dark heaven on earth Plagued by man's greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt Born also to the beauty of tomorrow Leading us back to the dirt I worry my mind, I worry my mind I worry my mind 'til I lose all the time Born to a dark heaven on earth Plagued by man's greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt Born also to the beauty of tomorrow Leading us back to the dirt Leading us back to the dirt Leading us back to the dirt
