Whether I live by the things I say
Or what I exhale to keep you here breathing the air with me
You fell beneath
Why won't you speak
Please say something
Bobby, please
I know that you wanted to die and I got in the way
Though I wasn't there to keep you company
I could tell you never got to sleep so well
Holding hands from cars and planes
I spill the words
They aren't enough
Battery dies
You know how to love and tried to pass it down but I don't know
And I must be dreaming life without you
When I wake up sinking into the sheets
A budding iris starving for the sun's light
I could only point the mirror so long
A century of satellites
Phone towers and transatlantic wires
And you just wanted to dim the light
Breathe in the perfume of the choking smoke
Whether I live by the things I say
Or what I exhale to keep you here breathing the air with me
You fell beneath
Why won't you speak
Please say something
Bobby, please
I know that you wanted to die and I got in the way
Though I wasn't there to keep you company
I could tell you never got to sleep so well
Holding hands from cars and planes
I spill the words
They aren't enough
Battery dies
You know how to love and tried to pass it down but I don't know
