lyrics

Look in my face, if you're awake
Cause you're gonna be okay
Just some bruises and scrapes
But you'll have to stay right here, I'm afraid
Until we get a better idea of your state
It could have been your life
A couple of inches to the right

I can't explain how I almost died
The other day, on the drive home from work
Straight shot ahead, going one-hundred-and-five
Anyone else could've stayed in between the lines
I finally felt strong enough to break the facade
But my eyes were closed when the airbags went off

And I saw the use
Of one final excuse
Nothing to lose
Felt like the right thing to do
But I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
And you'd probably hate me if I told you the truth

(Zephyr sample)

If I lie, you'll know and resent me
But this little room just feels so empty
I open my eyes, ready for the light
And hope that little shock of morning in the distance will eventually overcome the night
Took all this time for me to see
That my life does not just belong to me

And I saw the use
Of one final excuse
Nothing to lose
Felt like the right thing to do
But I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
And you'd probably hate me if I told you the truth
