Madeline

If you and I, we died tomorrow
Would you be happy with all of the things you've done?
Years, they never seem to slow down
'Til they're gone

The air, it seems, is getting cool now
And I can feel my mind
Room is spinning 'round and 'round
And fuck, please wake me up

Now, I need these memories in me until the day that I leave
'Til the day I believe in the stories I read when I'm alone
I got my family in Ohio and my girl in LA
My mom and dad in Texas, but I can't seem to stay for too long
Too long

Now, when I leave, it's not just for me, it's not just for me
I promise to keep when I was crying and you held my hand
Tell my mother that I'm gone, and my sister that I love her so
And, oh, my father he ought to know
I'll be doing just fine on my own
On my own

Yeah, I remember you laying down there
And you could hardly cry, but I saw in your eye
Then you told us, "It'll be okay"
But fuck, I'm still not okay, okay
Oh yeah, all of this hurt you sing about for the chimes, the chimes
Yeah, I know I should've shown you my face more
But it was easier for me to drink away my pain
Now I think about it every day

Now Katie, Sarah, Julia, and I have an angel above
And there'll never be a day when she's not by our side, our side
Yeah, I got my family in Ohio and my girl in LA
My ma and dad in Texas, but I can't seem to stay for too long
For too long

Now, when I leave, it's not just for me, it's not just for me
I promise to keep when I was crying and you held my hand
Tell my mother that I'm gone, and my sister that I love her so
And, oh, my father he ought to know
I'll be doing just fine on my own
On my own

(If you and I, we died tomorrow)
(Would you be happy with all of the things you've done?)

Now and then, now and then, I just hold it in
But, oh my god, I feel it burning in my chest again
And outside, as the snow stuck to the pavement
My sister had tears rolling down her freezing skin
From time to time I wonder why it had to happen so soon
Why'd it have to happen so soon?
