lyrics

The sky shines brilliant as I fly overhead
Staring out the window over the wing
They asked me if I could help in an emergency
But when it came to you the answer was “no”

I’ve been here before when Michael let go
But I saw your decent into the demon’s hold
That held you two feet above the ground
And now you’re six feet underneath

Now you’re safe
Now you’re safe

With two knotted ropes and two square stones
And two names roughly scratched into my conscience
You slipped through fingers that weren’t there to catch you

(Should have I been a better friend?)

And a friend on the line told me at the end of the greatest day
Said that I was missing, that I had missed your funeral
But I didn’t know you were having one
I didn’t know I didn’t know and--
Now you’re safe
