[Verse 1]
Are you really gone?
Were you hanging on
For at least as long as I had?

Tried to talk to you
Make sure it was cool
But your car was gone when I got out of bed

[Chorus]
I hope they let me surrender
Maybe they’ll take me instead
Oh there’s
Something that I need to tell you
But I’m afraid to talk to you again

[Verse 2]
Another short response
To a monologue
My voice shakes like a broken tape

Are you actually alive?
Did you kind of just 'survive?'
I kind of always thought that you might stay

[Chorus]
I hope they let me surrender
Maybe they’ll take me instead
Oh there’s
Something that I need to tell you
But I’m afraid to talk to you again
[Bridge]
So what?
What if the last time I saw you
Was the night before you left New York?
And what if the next time I need you
It’s all shut off?
(It’s all shut off)
It’s all shut off
(It’s all shut off)
It’s all shut off
(It’s all shut off)

[Chorus]
I hope they let me surrender
Maybe they’ll take me instead
Oh there’s
Something that I need to tell you
But I’m afraid to talk to you again

I’m afraid to talk to you again
