[Verse 1]

I've got a dying urge to feel the way you do

Too close for comfort, bed and breakfast in a spoon

The shortest breath of your young life

A long walk home on Friday night

You made one last stop at the store

[Verse 2]

So close to perfect, swear to hell, thought it was you

But this bouncing baby boy's now turning baby blue

I've got your pictures on my walls

I've got a long list of calls I must make

To your existing family

[Chorus]

You had nine lives and one by one, you chewed 'em up

Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much

"This won't take long," you said, "I'm not going far

Go wait in the car"

[Post-Chorus]

Go wait in the car

[Verse 3]

I often wonder what it feels like to be you

A mess like this stuck on your hands with Krazy Glue

Ran out of time, no kiss goodbye

Wish I could learn to let this sleeping dog die

Without lying to myself

[Chorus]

You had nine lives and one by one, you chewed 'em up

Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much

"This won't take long," you said, "I'm not going far

Go wait in the car"

[Post-Chorus]

Go wait in the car

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

You had nine lives and one by one, you chewed 'em up

Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much

"This won't take long," you said, "I'm not going far

Go wait in the car"

[Post-Chorus]

Go wait in the car
