[Verse]
I have a long drive home
I learned to talk to myself
My head is clearer than it's ever been

[Chorus]
By the time I got back, he was dead
By the time I got back
He was dead, he was dead, dead
By the time I got back, he was dead
By the time I got back, he was dead

[Outro]
My beautiful dead friend
My beautiful dead friend
My beautiful dead friend
