Lyrics
[verse]
We sat across the table and the words just wouldn't come,
I watched you slip away from me, felt my whole heart go numb,
I wanted to reach out to you, to find the perfect line,
But every sentence faltered and I lost you in the silence and the time.
[verse]
The piano keeps repeating like a question with no end,
How do you hold on tightly to a slowly drifting friend,
I replay every moment where I could have said it right,
But I let you keep on walking off into that quiet night.
[chorus]
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
If I had known just how to save a life,
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness, would I know how to begin.
[verse]
It's not about the blame now, it's about the things I learned,
That love means showing up before the final bridge gets burned,
The alt-rock rhythm carries all the weight I hold inside,
A lesson learned too late about the distance we can't hide.
[chorus]
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
If I had known just how to save a life,
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness, would I know how to begin.
[bridge]
(instrumental - emotional piano rock build, alt-rock swell)
[chorus]
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
If I had known just how to save a life,
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness, would I know how to begin.
