[Intro]
Elf Power, New Mexico
Elf Power, New Mexico

[Verse 1]
Well, thank God you're still
Angry at me
And I've got a better chance of seeing you
Dead and buried
Oh, thank you for this
One last big mistake
It's your turn, come shoot for it, if you win
Well, you can lead the way
Midday subway
Into New Jersey
Did you think maybe I was doing quite well
Without you in the frame, still?

[Chorus]
Killed in defense, I can't believe I called you after
I'm giving you up, go on, find someone new
'Til then pretend I've touched before you'd ask her
I'm giving you up, go on, find someone new
Dear Nikki, what, what if I
Could've found a better half here, in New
Oh Nikki, here in Elf Power
[Post-Chorus]
New Mexico
Elf Tower, New Mexico

[Verse 2]
Stay here, in our last standing
Hourglass circumstance
Devoted here, to the midst of the weary eyes
Lost and buried here, in your big surprise again
Will your fingers find my back?
Familiar fit in the questions that I had to ask
Did you think maybe I was doing quite well
Without you in the frame, still?

[Chorus]
Killed in defense, I can't believe I called you after
I'm giving you up, go on, find someone new
'Til then pretend I've touched before you'd ask her
I'm giving you up, go on, find someone new
Dear Nikki, what, what if I
Could've found a better half here, in New
Oh Nikki, here in Elf Power, New Mexico

[Interlude]
So now, until I, I am out
[Bridge]
Over my words and learned lessons
Dear God, before I heard this is your intention
Before I could've figured how to love another
Dear, there's Coheed and then Cambria
And into merger, absence makes the heart grow fonder

[Verse 3]
Thank God they recovered your body in New Mexico
Three days, it's spoiled, love
I miss you in every way, you could've been dear
Wish you were here, still in the frame, still

[Chorus]
Killed in defense, I can't believe I called you after
I'm giving you up, go on, find someone new
'Til then pretend I've touched before you'd ask her
I'm giving you up, go on, find someone new
Dear Nikki, what, what if I
Could've found a better half here, in New
Oh Nikki, here in Elf Power, New Mexico
