Wait

I watched you throw out your bouquet

Now i think about you everyday

I’m alone now in my bed



And there’s a lake

And at the bottom you’ll find all our friends

They don’t swim cause they’re all dead

We never are what we intend, or invent

‘Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart

Think something dark’s living down in my heart



And if I wanted to die before I got old

I should’ve started some years ago digging that hole

Well I carry this box to the proper place

And when I lower it down

I let it you fade away

I hope that you would do this for me

I’d serve you drugs on a silver plate

If I thought it would help you get away

I hope that you would do this for me



A deer that a hunter shot in the heart

Some dogs that got hit by cars

All came to spill their guts



And we spoke

About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

And which songs we had loved the most

And then we all turned to dirt

And dust

Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold

Some die looking for a hand to hold



Well I carry this box to its proper place

And when I lower it down

I let you fade away

I know that you would do this for me

I’d serve you drugs on a silver plate

If I thought it would help you get away

I hope that you would do this for me



I’m slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates

Now I’m drowning in the flood I made

Well explain myself to me on the other side

I’ll watch from Heaven when I die



Well I carry this box to the proper place

And when I lower it down

I let you fade away

I know that you would do this for me

I’d serve you drugs on a silver plate

If I thought it would help you get away

I hope that you would do this for me
