I was dropped in the ocean
and they filled my boots with lead
I was stripped of emotion
as if I was two days dead

But she said don’t die on me
it was all inside your head
I’ve fed you, don’t die on me
was the best thing that she said

And if only I was taller
I would paint her face on the chapel roof
And if both my legs were longer
I could see above this residue

And if I could just say that we’re better this way
then we’re half way there and it’s alright
And if I could just say that we’re better this way
then we’re half way through this day

And she said don’t die on me
it was all inside your head
I’ve fed you, don’t die on me
was the best thing that she said
