Lyrics

Dear

[Verse 1]

I saw you so still, so cold

You laid outside the road

Your eyes were still opened slight

You left on that summer night...

[Verse 2]

Your mother was so confused

Her nose dug under your bruise

She looked up at me, she spoke

"Why bother? We're all just smoke."

[Bridge]

Well, I'll tell you why...

I'll tell you why

Well, I'll tell you why

It could've been you

[Verse 3]

I drove back along the coast

With hanging gray trees so close

My passenger stayed asleep

Intoxicated deep

[Verse 4]

So I went home and stared

Out the window, I'm not prepared

If I'm just going to be the rose

You drop on my final home

[Outro]

It's starting to rain inside

Let's stay outside tonight

It's starting to rain inside

Let's stay outside tonight

It's starting to rain inside

Let's stay outside tonight

It's starting to rain inside

Let's stay outside tonight

It's starting to pour

[Instrumental]
