Album: Duck on Cover

I’ll be right behind you, Josephine
I won’t leave you waiting in between
And the cigarette you bummed from me is almost burning out
You suck it till your fingers burn, then you throw it to the ground
I’ll be right behind you, Josephine
Even after everything we’ve seen seen
In this sterile room with blinding lights and faces pointing down
I only want to scream but still I just can’t make a sound
Now hold my hand,
I’ll hold my breath
There’s nothing in this world we really own
And Jesus Christ,
if you tore my heart out
The only thing I’d feel is less alone
less alone
I’ll be right behind you, Josephine
I won’t leave you waiting in this dream
While you watch the people speaking words you can’t quite comprehend
You ask me if I’d pinch you but my fingers wouldn’t bend
Hey don’t you know my name is Jacqueline
Just like It was when we were seventeen
You have known me all my life
Right now we are 34
Do I look like I like living in the same skin anymore
Now hold my hand,
I’ll hold my breath
There’s nothing in this world we really own
And Jesus Christ,
if you tore my heart out
The only thing I’d feel is less alone
I’ll be right behind you, Josephine
Even when my soul’s an amputee
And my bleeding heart is sinking in the lake inside my chest
So I grab what I can cling to and I leave behind the rest
Now hold my hand,
I’ll hold my breath
There’s nothing in this world we really own
And Jesus Christ,
if you tore my heart out
The only thing I’d feel is less alone
Now hold my hand,
I’ll hold my breath
there’s nothing in this world we own
And if you have my heart torn out
I’d feel less alone
Hold my hand,
I’ll hold my breath
there’s nothing in this world we own
And if you have my heart torn out
I’d feel less alone
Now hold my hand,
I’ll hold my breath
there’s nothing in this world we own
And if you have my heart torn out
I’d feel less alone
Hold my hand,
I’ll hold my breath
there’s nothing in this world we own
And if you have my heart torn out
I’d feel less alone
