Standing on the porch / looking out at the water / Waiting for the sun to treat you like a newborn daughter / We were so desperate for speed / we never counted the cost / Nights out on parade / you were the tempest / even lost. 

My friends, the dearest things you ever gave me in this life / Why is the pen so heavy / how could I not make you my wife? / Are we bolder / getting older or do we stay put instead? / I'm shivering in the sun / with cigarettes in my bed. 

You're the unsuspecting beauty with the speedway in sight / Eyes steady on the asphalt / praying for another night / And when I wake at midnight with my hands around my skull / The breath is short in coming / if it even comes at all. 

I call to God and ask him / for another reason / to leave this graveyard at my back as days turn into seasons / Here's to all the friendships / born despite the rain / and know you're walking hallowed ground when whispering her name. 

When you go / I will follow / I don't know if I can change. 

Smoking with my friends / whiskey on the floor / there's so much I regret / Take me higher than before / The days they run away / wild horses on the hills / I sit here thinking coastlines and what she really kills. 

Hands soft from easy living / My head as hard as stone / Is this a dream of dying / or is this just living alone? 

I called three of my friends to push the tombstone away / Here I am / still living / it's just another day. 

When you go / I will follow / I don't know if I can change / for you.
