"A Funny Life. A Funeral. I need you to bury me." - Jawbreaker

lyrics

The moon's hiding in the sky
I feel dead tonight
and I couldn't wait for
another night alone
just singing all my lonely songs
that I write
and stretching out my voice to hit
the final note
falling faster out of control

And you lend a tired ear
to my secret fears
from outside my window
and knocking on the door you try
but all I do is hide
I don't think I'm ready
and stretching out my legs to stand
before my ghost
you let me know

Your voice comes to me
and it whispers, "everything
is going to be alright
so fall asleep tonight
As we walk through this life
celebrate the fact you're falling all the time"
And I couldn't help but say to you,
"only if you want me to"

Tears falling from my eyes
it's a funny life
or am I just crazy?
I think of all the times I've tried
just to get one right
please don't say I'm lazy
and stretching out my arms to hold
the swaying moon
you're reaching, too

Your voice comes to me
and it whispers that this life
is just a dream I hide
from my waking life
and it comes to us all
as we swim against the tides that pull and pull
and I will keep my head up for you
but only if you want me to
