Lyrics

They said you didn't feel a thing.
When the phone rings out that late at night,
You know it,
There's no good news to bring.
And sunny days you skipped right through
Come back to you,
Splashing in the puddles of the rain.
Although I know its been awhile,
Like some rare species it seemed to please me,
Just knowing you were out there.
I can still remember hiding from the storm,
A blanket stretched across four nervous knees,
Huddled in the basement, listening to the radio.
She said, "Its me."
Though I hadn't heard your mother's words in years,
I knew her immediately.
She was lying on the floor next to her bed,
With saline streaks all down her cheeks,
And she's just throwing tears to the carpet.
While lights, red and blue,
Reflecting off a million jagged stars all around you,
Some sunk in and stuck to your arm,
Thirty yards behind you lies a one ton,
Wilted blue balloon.
.it was such a quiet night.
I can still remember, holding out my hand,
And dancing on your brother's wedding day.
This is not an ending... let's call it a chapter break.
