Life Vest

Nervous in the break room
Waiting for the ball to drop
The other foot to drop now
Started with a good year
Turned into a bad year
Salvaging the scraps I can
Thought we had a good time
Thought we had tricked time
You couldn’t get away from me
Didn’t feel the car crash
Didn’t feel my heart smash
It happens too easily
Great ideas, God we had great ideas
Didn’t know this could happen to me
Struggling to see the meaning in all of the meaningless
I wasted when I had you here
Breaking out the life vest
Cramming for the big test
Cupping tears in your hand
Not ready to lose you
Not ready for any of this to
Mess up my plans
Great ideas, God I had great ideas
Didn’t know this could happen to me
Struggling to see the meaning in all of the meaningless
I wasted when I had you here
Never known so much love
I’ve never known so much
I’ve never known so much
Promise me you’ll hang on
Promise you I’ll hang on
Promise
Will you wear your life vest
I will wear my life vest
Promise
Promise
Promise
Promise
Promise
