[SHAUN, spoken]
We're driving to the gig
In my poor old Mazda
With the taped-on side view mirrors
(Drum Click)
Gummy hot coins on the dashboard
(Drum Click)
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Flipping through his CD wallet
CD wallets are still a thing
(Drum Click)
I’m pulling out a Barenaked Ladies CD
[SHAUN, spoken]
Ouch
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
Shaun is laughing
And then—
[JO]
He fell down so slowly
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
We rear end a UPS truck
I see Shaun thrown forward
[JO / REGGIE]
He fell down so slowly
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
I hear him thud on the steering wheel
Then suddenly I'm running
[SHAUN, spoken]
I look up and she's gone
(Drum Click)
[JO / REGGIE]
He fell down so slowly
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
I get half a block away before I realize what I’m doing
(Drum Click)
[SHAUN, spoken]
And this is a thing I know about her now:
That when she's scared, she runs
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
The St Luke's emergency room admits him
He needs stitches
(Drum Click and Bass Hit)
They want to run tests
(Drum Click and Bass Hit)
I don't know how to reach his parents
[JO]
He lay down
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
It's three a.m
Waiting for test results
I'm trying to stay awake
[REGGIE]
So slowly
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
I see him sitting on the examining table (with Drum Click and Bass Hit) Click
I hear him hit the steering wheel
I see him fall, (with Drum Click and Bass Hit) Click
[ABIGAIL, spoken] [+ JO / REGGIE, sung]
Hospital smell
Fluorescent bulbs
(with Drum Click and Bass Hit)
Click
I hear the thud
I see him fall
(with Drum Click and Bass Hit)
Click
A waft of air
The taste of salt
(with Drum Click and Bass Hit)
Click
I hear the thud
I see him fall
(with Drum Click and Bass Hit)
Click
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And I'm fifteen
And I'm in the dream
And we’re in a tiny boat past the breakers
And we’re in the diner booth
It's covered in salt
And I’m in the dream
And we're in a tiny boat past the breakers
And we're in the diner booth
It's covered in salt
And I’m in the dream
And we're in a tiny boat past the breakers
And we're in the diner booth
It's covered in salt
I hear the thud
I see him fall. Click
[ABIGAIL / JO / REGGIE]
I hear the thud
I see him fall, Click
I hear the thud
I see him fall, Click
[ABIGAIL, spoken]
And I can't wake up
