In a place where the Saints go
To eternally lift their load
My own Saint had a ticket
For his own road
2:37 sharp
That Saturday afternoon
God made a plan
For you to leave soon
Bedside is where I'll be
Waiting for the moment you flee
Don't fly away my heavenly friend
Promise me you'll see me again?
I once heard a story
Where "Love is watching someone die"
Do you remember the moral?
Waiting for the fateful goodbye?
Plans put on hold
We had quite a few
How long to wait?
I don't know about you...
Bedside is where I'll be
Waiting for the moment you flee
Don't fly away yet my heavenly friend
Promise me you'll love me again?
Whatever god there is hasn't given me enough time
To be satisfied with all of our lustful crimes
But as the LCD tells me you're drifting away
Your second date will be for today
Don't go away
Tell me how you fight fight fight
Bedside is where I was
Dreading that awful moment it paused
I watched you fly away, my heavenly lover
You promised me, that we'd wait for each other
But your promises were as broken as you

Inspired by Death Cab For Cutie's "What Sarah Said." In the song, he was describing a hospital waiting room, and waiting for the person you love to die and how "Love is watching someone die/ So who's gonna watch you die?" I started to imagine how it feels, and I spurted this bit out. Enjoy.
