Sometimes you look the same
Just like you did before
the accident
When you're staring 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
callin' 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 stand-still on The Five
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 callin' 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 neighborhood 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 callin' 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
