[00:05.483]Reach for the hand brake now
[00:08.106]Pull it upward, turn the wheel hard
[00:10.091]In Danny's car, drifting in the parking lot, midnight at the church
[00:15.559]How we'd float on in snowfall
[00:17.909]On ice sheets on the asphalt
[00:19.782]In circles turned, enclosing underneath
[00:23.388]And in the backseat, you and I
[00:25.721]Saw Calvary spinning after in the back of us
[00:28.937]Caught you in the glass
[00:30.753]Reflected by the streetlights as we passed
[00:33.486]I noticed the expressions didn't match
[00:36.611]Laughter on the one
[00:38.563]Contrasted sadness
[00:40.401]The look in your eyes against your hands
[00:42.289]The ceiling and your seatbelt off
[00:44.287]Dependent on your strength to anchor you
[00:47.073]So forceful was the curve
[00:48.644]Sent careening into me first
[00:50.921]When Danny sideways crashed into the curb
[00:54.612]That's the first thing that came back the day I heard
[01:12.022]And we would push a little further every time
[01:15.590]Breaking into buildings overnight when we got bored
[01:19.489]Bent on cheating death
[01:21.998]Turned left on every red
[01:24.147]The cars ahead slamming on the brakes
[01:27.617]We found purpose in laughing after danger
[01:30.940]A curse we shouted out
[01:32.683]Shot a gun inside the house once
[01:35.005]Leaned over the edge of the rooftop
[01:37.856]My belt held in the back
[01:39.856]Seven stories up to write my name
[01:43.216]You carved "Die young" with a pen
[01:45.446]In the skin below your neck
[01:47.297]To keep your recklessness closer to the chest, a reminder to reject
[01:52.262]A perpetual hanging threat
[01:54.313]A promise you kept now
[01:56.382]True to yourself
[01:57.982]To the end
[01:59.030]In a sense
[01:59.972]I suspect you always felt that way
[02:03.004]No exceptions for the time you spent in ours
[02:05.913]And in mine
[02:06.963]And you drifted far away from us in time
[02:09.881]Out of mind
[02:10.766]Out of sight
[02:12.789]What else is there to say now but goodbye?
[02:16.977]And the last time I saw you
[02:18.670]After years we spent apart
[02:20.511]You came to my apartment just to talk
[02:24.102]Dressed in a suit
[02:26.151]Said your life had gotten better
[02:28.267]Even then, I wasn't sure it was the truth
[02:31.261]When Danny called to tell me
[02:33.805]I didn't know how you had been
[02:35.938]About the benchmarks you'd met in your life
[02:39.154]The counterweights to tip
[02:40.762]Keep equal weight on either side
[02:43.045]The anguish of existing unrequested
[02:45.685]And the joy to be alive
[02:47.830]And I know now the truth
[02:49.742]That a lie is one too
[02:51.693]That some things unsaid
[02:53.759]Really aren't in the end
[02:55.626]Chief of my regrets
[02:57.493]When he told me how you'd died
[02:59.411]I'm ashamed I felt surprised
[03:02.887]By your own hand at night, fired once and survived, and then somehow again
[03:08.880]I saw Calvary behind you in the light
[03:12.247]Scattered your reflection in the doctrine and I almost believed
[03:16.620]We would enter in elected when we died
[03:20.185]Carried by the U and the I in the T.U.L.I.P. despite how hard we tried
[03:26.204]Both our names circled twice
[03:28.554]You and I would get ushered triumphant into Heaven and the light
[03:34.246]And you reached to find the brake
[03:37.502]Nothing there to pull
[03:39.993]To be pulled back with grace
[03:42.169]From the way you chose to bring yourself relief
[03:45.393]Backwards, forwards on the ice
[03:48.147]Circles spinning helpless at the edge
[03:51.764]There again, you and I
[03:53.946]What else is there to say now but goodbye?
