lyrics

I was dead once but I came alive again
And you said once that you'd be sure to fill in
All the lost words to a note you'll never send
So make my day today before you call my next of kin

If I died right now, what state would I have lived?
I write these happy songs, just to give some incentive
To hop up out of bed, and find a fuck to give
Please make my day today, before you call my next of kin

I wish I could see what you see in me
But right now I find myself being my own worst enemy
Maybe a time when I was alive I could remind myself
I'm not that bad really
Because right now I'm stuck timeless in misery

Am I calling out to a friend or enemy?
I'm not sure about you, how in love are you with me?
Do you talk about me? When I do that 180
Just walk away, dear.. And call my next of kin

Are we really strong here? Are we what we need to be?
Or are we building bridges, in a slowly sinking sea?
That's caving in now, like a love too lost to breathe
Just kindly leave me, and call my next of kin

I wish I could see what you see in me
But right now you seem to blind to really face reality
Maybe a time when you were alive you could find a way
To fall in love with me
But I think you're gaining eyesight to this misery

I'm losing trust in what we were
And you lost us, when you saw the world
We built around, and cut off sound, to be together, lack of forever

Can you please believe me, and call my next of kin?
Can you come this evening, and call my next of kin?
