"If I Die" lyrics

A train crashed
And everything slows down
I was wishing I could get out of this town
These dreams we've had
Have never made you cry
And I am not a twinkle in your eye
But I've got to get out of here
'Cause you drive me up the wall
I've got to get out of here
'Cause I can't stand to fall

And if I die
See you won't be so close to me
And I won't be the one
Who sticks around
If I'm awake
See you won't go to sleep, I promise
And I won't be the one
Who lets you down

Tailgates, long talks
And your superficial friends
Shiny, silver Fords
That lead us to dead ends
And I said do you lick these salty wounds
That you, yourself condone
I sit, wait, and I'm all alone
But I can't go home
'Cause you're my home

If I die
See you won't be so close to me
And I won't be the one
Who sticks around
If I'm awake
See you won't go to sleep, I promise
And I won't be the one
Who lets you down
No, I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down

Tell me where you are tonight
And is everything alright?
Do you remember what I said?
While he's sleeping in your bed?
Tell me now you Smile hard
'Cause I don't smile much so far
And is he everything you need?
Is he everything I couldn't be?
Does he make everything match better?
Bring you all the shiny weather that you want
And is he everything
Everything I'm not

And if I die
You won't be so close to me
And I won't be the one
Who sticks around
If I'm awake
See you won't go to sleep, I promise
And I won't be the one
Who lets you down
No, I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
