lyrics

write it on my tombstone
"No one knew me like he does."
tattoo it on both my shoulders
he brought out the angel and the devil in me
just the way I like,
if just for one night.

when April passes each year I still think of him
and what could've been...
somewhere he stands in rooms
a girl draped off his arm
like I should've been

lay me down
not for long
send me flowers I'll return
I can't lie
I get high off the hope of you
my forever almost
my forever almost

there will be no honeymoon
cause I'd never get married to you
don't wanna be
the girl with a toothbrush at your place
I wanna live beyond your wildest dreams

so automatic
swear I'm prophetic
oh I just knew knowing you
was what I had to do
and I think you knew it too

every April I just think
what could've been if I'd went to him?

lay me down
not for long
send me flowers I'll return
I can't lie
I get high off the hope of you
my forever almost
light me up
watch me burn
whisper words that go unheard
I can't lie
I get high off the hope of you
my forever almost
my forever almost

sometimes at night I lie awake and wonder
what if Jeff never jumped in Wolf River?
we'd still be singing all the songs he'd write
what if I never went to West Harlem?
I think I'd have had a different life
call it fate or coincidence
the static and the dissonance
and then there's you
always making perfect sense

you
lay me down
not for long
send me flowers I'll return
I can't lie
I get high off the hope of you
my forever almost
my forever almost
