Whether I live by the things I say Or what I exhale to keep you here breathing the air with me You fell beneath Why won't you speak Please say something Bobby, please I know that you wanted to die and I got in the way Though I wasn't there to keep you company I could tell you never got to sleep so well Holding hands from cars and planes I spill the words They aren't enough Battery dies You know how to love and tried to pass it down but I don't know And I must be dreaming life without you When I wake up sinking into the sheets A budding iris starving for the sun's light I could only point the mirror so long A century of satellites Phone towers and transatlantic wires And you just wanted to dim the light Breathe in the perfume of the choking smoke Whether I live by the things I say Or what I exhale to keep you here breathing the air with me You fell beneath Why won't you speak Please say something Bobby, please I know that you wanted to die and I got in the way Though I wasn't there to keep you company I could tell you never got to sleep so well Holding hands from cars and planes I spill the words They aren't enough Battery dies You know how to love and tried to pass it down but I don't know
