Thank God I'm back in my car And driving home And driving home 'Cause the air was thin and so cold Back in there It was my first time Won't be my last time And the questions rise Expectations fall In light of it all There aren't words to say Words aren't remembered But presence is A good friend once told me And he was there He was there But she wasn't there It's not fair It's not fair (Chorus) What crimes have you committed Demanding such a penance That couldn't wait for five more minutes And a cry for help 'Cause this room is so peaceful And this room is so quiet And I hate the silence And I can't walk the center aisle I've been here for over three hours Behind the flowers So beautiful and young And so alive And so in need of someone Someone to talk to them 'Cause theirs are fragile lives (repeat chorus) And I think about my brother And how I just stood there With my hands in my pockets And my heart in my throat Thank God I'm back in my car And driving home And driving home But in that place I leave All my days of taking life for granted And the words I wrote for her And my best friend crying And a young girl lying On all our hearts (repeat chorus)
