Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?
How can you laugh when you know, that it hurts your friends?
We've all been there once but you never left
This is me coming back to get you to say goodbye, to make amends
I'm not leaving this place
Unless I'm leaving with you
'Cause you're the only person with a half decent heart
And I know you will put it to use
'Til it's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
But someday you'll agree, that I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me, now we'll see
That you're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
We had a heart to heart about life
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves
If we wanted to outlive that night
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers, and our foes
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
What a wonderful world this could be
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
And if you go, I'll be gone
And you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
But someday you'll agree, that I was always meant for you
You were always meant for me, now we'll see
That you're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
You're impossible
So how many more examples 'til we break?
How many sacrifices must we make?
'Cause we've all been there once before
And it looks like we've returned once more, so is this the beginning or the end?
Last two soldiers on the battlefield, survivors of the war
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
"If you're listening, I'm missing him, so somehow bring him home
How did it come to this?"
So the soldiers lift their rifles and they're aiming at the head
They think of their first love before they take their final breath
Somewhere in the distance, they hear something someone said
"How did it come to this?"
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep
I hope you think of me, yeah
