We were walking in a circle, hand in hand And you feet were sinking deeper in the sand than mine You had sold me the mansion in your head I would cut your hair, and you would die it red as fire As a crackling fire
I would hold the phone, so you were not alone I had to take you home, you could not drive
You had smiled when you told me you were brave That your life was in other hands to save, not mine I saw the mansion you had made me love ignite And as you were fading, it was growing bright with fire With a crackling fire
As you tried to stand, I had to take your hand You said "I think your plan will be splitting from mine"
We made a pile of all your remaining clothes Where you're headed now, you won't be needing those, it's fine We soaked the pile 'till it dripped with gasoline And I lit a match as if I'd never seen a fire It was a big roaring fire
Then your heartbeat failed It stopped leaving its trails The last thing you exhaled while you were alive was I am alright, I am alright, I'm doin' just fine I am alright, I am alright, I'm doin' just fine, yeah!
