Briefest Moment

I was a small-town kid with no possessions And I was bored beyond belief I couldn't wait to get away from nowhere I made a plan to finally leave So I packed my bags and ran away I needed something more to take away this pain I found the medicine tucked in your locker I picked the lock and grabbed the pills I found a friend and then we went and then we went and then we went We swallowed all of them up on the trestle I heard a melody so pure I felt an echo that was so familiar I left my misery behind If only for the briefest moment of time You lost your balance as I tried to grab you And then you slipped right through my hands I don't remember how I made it out alive But there you went and here I am I keep the guilt out on display It's my memorial to mark that day If I could fall for you but I cannot undo The briefest moment of time
