Emergency Room (Remix) Lyrics
In my dream when I was five
You were standing in the rain
The black umbrella in your hand
Meant that you had fled the pain
You always had a knack for art
You'd always draw the stars arrayed
Tell me are they beautiful
Right from where you are instead
'Cause you said
Don't watch my body burn up
Don't watch me go into
The sea
Where you cannot follow me
Don't watch my body burn up
Don't watch me go into
The sea
Where you cannot follow me
High among the monkey bars
I never fought with gravity
I soared up atop your shoulders
And you were growing older
We'd run through supermarket aisles
Stealing samples by the sticks
But the food was getting colder
And I was growing older
Don't watch my body burn up
Don't watch me go into
The sea
Where you cannot follow me
Don't watch my body burn up
Don't watch me go into
The sea
Where you cannot follow me
Thought of you less
Forgot who you were to me
As you forgot
The things around you
But never me
Never me
I was in school and it was five
In the afternoon that day
When I got a call to say
Things weren't really okay
What hit me first was the smell
Of the emergency ward
Then what came next into my head
Was your voice when you said
Don't watch my body burn up
Don't watch me go into
The sea
Where you cannot follow me
Don't watch my body burn up
Don't watch me go into
The sea
Where you cannot follow me
Don't watch my body burn up
Don't watch me go into
The sea
Where you cannot follow me
One day all our bodies burn up
And we'll all go back into
The sea
And maybe then you can follow me
