There's a line I haven't reached yet
A pen hovering above your name
A form says in case of emergency Nothing here has changed
I could write my brother's number Someone practical and near
But my hand won't cross you out yet
After all this time you're still right here
Who else would they call if I went down tonight
Who else knows the way I take my fears and
hold them tight The box is small but what we had was not
So I leave you there,
emergency protect It's just paper,
just procedure
Something for the files But it asks me who I'm chattin' on
You're the one I dial
Maybe it's foolish, this little act of faith
Maybe you've erased me from that same space
But who else would they call if I went down
tonight Who else knows the way I used to hold you
tight The box is small but what we had was not
So I leave you there,
emergency protect I sign my name below and leave the rest alone
You're still the first one
I would want to know
