One Way Trip - The Difference Between Life and Death

This is paralyzing
These thoughts are taking me away
No longer conscious
But my mind's replaying everything
Crunching metal, smashing glass
I couldn't see, it was too fast
I felt it pulling me away as I lay bleeding on the grass
I hit these rapids as I fall faster asleep
And I called out to you to save me from my fate (And I feel myself fall away)

There was no way to tell
How far I'd fallen into hell
This haunted place reminds me of
Where I lay now and where I'm from
It was you that kept me sane
While death was staring in my face
And those four words you said were the difference between life and death
You said I'm better off dead than having you in my bed
But I feel that you can save me from my fate (But I feel you there carrying me)

I can't believe that you thought I would go quietly
Giving up something that's inside of me
How does it feel to hold you like I want to?
This can't be real but I know you'll help me come through
The first time I couldn't find myself inside my own head
I'll get by despite everything I gave up in the end

I know at anytime
It's all just in my mind
To wash away with the moment that I come to
'Cause everything up till now has made no sense
Except the beating of your heart and the rhythm of your breath
And even though I've never held you close before I have to tell you

I can't believe that you thought I would go quietly
Giving up something that's inside of me
How does it feel to hold you like I want to?
This can't be real but I know you'll help me come through
The first time I couldn't find myself inside my own head
I'll get by despite everything I gave up in the end

And I can still see glimpses of that night
Slow motion in the ambulance's strobing lights
I felt your presence by my side
With eyes that begged me not to die

And your eyes
I swear they begged me not to die

I can't believe that you thought I would go quietly
Giving up something that's inside of me
How does it feel to hold you like I want to?
This can't be real but I know you'll help me come through
The first time I couldn't find myself inside my own head
I'll get by despite everything I gave up in the end
