Dead leaves dead grass dead summertime
And I'm buried inside, wastin' away in it
Skinned knees and broken promises and you locked me outside
Rustin' away in it
Like an old bicycle
And there's someone comin' upon my door
And they're tryin' takin', take you away from me
Over my dead body
And there's no one on this goddamn earth who could ever dare to take you away from me
Over my dead body
Flowers on the windowsill, next to pictures that you painted for me
And it makes me smile
Writin' in the window sweat and it says "I love you"
Wrote it for me
In the dead of winter
And there's someone comin' upon my door
And they're tryin' takin', take you away from me
Over my dead body
And there's no one on this goddamn earth who could ever dare to take you away from me
Over my dead body
There's a big river flowin' next to me and you
And I'm starin' right down, right down there at my shoes
Wonderin' if I could take a step into the blue and just
Drink all my pain away
And you're screamin' in pain, lookin' out at the bluffs
Wonderin' just how your love it just wasn't enough
And I'm layin' face down seein' flash flash flash freeze
And you're callin' the cops and it's
Weeee-oooo
And I'm gettin' pulled out back onto the shore and I open my eyes and look up at the score
See the wins and the losses the pain and diseases I've caused you in trying to fulfill my needs
And I'm thinkin' 'bout fatherhood and all that it means
Wonderin' if we could ever be a weeee-oooo now
