[Verse 1]

Are you really gone?

Were you hanging on

For at least as long as I had?

Tried to talk to you

Make sure it was cool

But your car was gone when I got out of bed

[Chorus]

I hope they let me surrender

Maybe they’ll take me instead

Oh there’s

Something that I need to tell you

But I’m afraid to talk to you again

[Verse 2]

Another short response

To a monologue

My voice shakes like a broken tape

Are you actually alive?

Did you kind of just 'survive?'

I kind of always thought that you might stay

[Chorus]

I hope they let me surrender

Maybe they’ll take me instead

Oh there’s

Something that I need to tell you

But I’m afraid to talk to you again

[Bridge]

So what?

What if the last time I saw you

Was the night before you left New York?

And what if the next time I need you

It’s all shut off?

(It’s all shut off)

It’s all shut off

(It’s all shut off)

It’s all shut off

(It’s all shut off)

[Chorus]

I hope they let me surrender

Maybe they’ll take me instead

Oh there’s

Something that I need to tell you

But I’m afraid to talk to you again

I’m afraid to talk to you again
