lyrics

2013-10-24

When it is done, you'll ignore this song
But only if you mean it, mate…

But if you're still here, are you still a Drum man?
Did you wear your silver skin? If I throw you gold dollars
Will you take it off?

I want my change back

Can you see me? Maybe look a little lower
I'm back in my body, now

I caught the spirit, and now it's caught up to me
Have you ever been a ghost?

If you died, would you know it?
If I lied, could you live with it?
-And what if I told the truth?
Should I sit by your sideline for you?

Scared to death - Ever thought about that?
I'm terrified, now

Ask anybody - They'll tell you so
It's hard to keep it down

If it's not about you - Think of who you're doing it to
It's me

If I'm losing to you - aren't you losing it, too?
Same team, I thought

If I died, you would show up
Don't ask WHY? - He already told me
-And I know that he told you first
You're the one who first played me the words

If you died, did you blow it?
If I cried, I'd still pay my fare
-If that was all I saw of you
Then it would be too soon

Taking people down to the woods
