Intro (x2) verse 1 On the night you died I was still alive I heard the news travel from the front seat, and I hung my head and cried I focused on the blue light from the stereo And I imagined what it might feel like if I could float away Out the window Over the Gulf of Mexico verse 2 On the night you left I was in my head I was stressed out from an argument I had with my girlfriend I can't remember now what it was all about I'm sure it started with me complaining about the way my life is now Away Out the window Over the Gulf of Mexico Out the window Until I can see the light shine for me Bridge We can say we tried And ran out of time But that's a lie and we know it We can say we tried But we just gave up You can only fall so many times before you don't get up Away Out the window Over the Gulf of Mexico Out the window Until I can see the light shine for me
