All the cars and all the kids with all their excess oxygen Make me feel so out of breath so won't they all just keep me left alone You and I were born to be each other's sound in harmony Different songs and different keys At least you'll still remember some time And after we got out last week and settled into a peace You cut your hair and gained some weight And left me for the rainy state You have a not so broken home With healthy folks and loving bones You're used to fighting seldomly Apologetic tendencies to count Speeding cars and constant shouts At 65 you jumped right out And landed in a hospital Speechless and so uninvolved When you came home you looked so changed Your eyelids all in disarray I stared into your vacant home And shouted this to everyone Don't lose me Run away from me See I possess some memories I recollect them when I sleep But I forget them when I wake A victim of the give and take So promise us that when this ends You'll back on up and settle in To each and every life you've passed Just make it last Just make it last Run away from me Run away from me Run away from me Run away Run away Dead or ready to go Now I'm ready to go Now I'm ready to leave Dead or ready to go Now I'm ready to go Now I'm ready to leave Now I'm ready to go
