lyrics

When I found you
After you fell off that waterfall
I'll never forget what I saw
The colors of your hurt
The red of your blood and the whites of your eyes and the blue of your face, just
Dying in the dirt

But you didn't
You slowly came to life again
Couldn't remember where you'd been
But you leaned against my chest
Examined your hands, felt the crack in your chin, and you wanted to sleep, but
We couldn't let you rest

Whoa, I wanted to save you
But I couldn't let you go
No, I couldn't let you go
Oh, no

I never thought I'd have a friend die in my lap
But even less likely was that friend coming back
You got lucky, and not just 'cause we were there
All I did was roll you on your side, call for help, and send a prayer
'Cause had the CAT scan showed you leaking tons of blood into your brain
No, I wouldn't have felt responsible, but I might have gone insane

'Cause you got me thinking about death in a way I never have
It's so close at hand, it's just around the corner
Even when I'm dancing, especially when I'm drinking
Even when I'm falling down, ten feet down
Six feet under the waterfall
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh, I wanted to save you
But I couldn't let you go
No, I couldn't let you go
Oh, no
