|
I was a small-town kid with no possessions |
|
And I was bored beyond belief |
|
I couldn't wait to get away from nowhere |
|
I made a plan to finally leave |
|
So I packed my bags and ran away |
|
I needed something more to take away this pain |
|
I found the medicine tucked in your locker |
|
I picked the lock and grabbed the pills |
|
I found a friend and then we went and then we went and then we went |
|
We swallowed all of them up on the trestle |
|
I heard a melody so pure |
|
I felt an echo that was so familiar |
|
I left my misery behind |
|
If only for the briefest moment of time |
|
You lost your balance as I tried to grab you |
|
And then you slipped right through my hands |
|
I don't remember how I made it out alive |
|
But there you went and here I am |
|
I keep the guilt out on display |
|
It's my memorial to mark that day |
|
If I could fall for you but I cannot undo |
|
The briefest moment of time |
