Sometimes you look
the same
just like you did
before the accident
When you're starin'
into space
It's hard to believe
you don't remember it
woke up in the ambulance
you pieced it all
together on the drive
I know you don't
remember calling me
but I told you even then
you looked so pretty
In a hospital bed
I remember you said
you were scared
and so was I...
In a standstill on the 5
thought it was
unusually early traffic
usually I don't panic
I.. just wanted
to be on time
When I saw the
ambulances
on the shoulder
I didn't even think of
pullin' over I pieced it all
together late that night
And I know you don't
remember calling me
but I told you even then
you looked so pretty
In a hospital bed
I remember you said
you were scared
and so was I...
What if it happened
to you on a different day
on a bridge where there
wasn't a rail in the way
Or a neighbourhood
street where the
little kids play
or the Angeles Crest
in the snow or the rain?
What if you weren't alone?
There were kids in the car
What if you were remote?
No-one knows
where you are
If you changed anything
would you not have survived?
You're alive
You're alive, you're alive
And I know you don't
remember calling me
but I told you even then
you looked so pretty
In your hospital bed
I remember you said
you were scared
and so am I...
