Calm me and let me taste the
salt you breathed while you were underneath

gave a thought to what they all could mean

I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart
B
You know that you are not alone

Need you like water in my lungs

gave a thought to what they all could mean

I know that this is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart

You know that you are not alone

Need you like water in my lungs
