I saw your shoes behind the line

I’ve seen your face a hundred times

But now only in my mind

The rest of you is left behind

You lay there passed out on the couch

Words falling from your mouth

Maybe you like to drink too much

I could see you losing touch

Please don’t float too high

The sun will burn your wings

You are everything

Please just run away

The headlights they will catch you

Your mother she will miss you

So we all waited in a room

Flipped a switch and watched the news

Waiting for a sign of you

Breathing was impossible to do

So we all waited for the call

And wondered if you’re there at all

But no one’s lips knew what to say

Hoping that you won’t fly away
