• We were sitting on the dark green grass
    It seemed like I was in first class
    I stared deep into your dark brown eyes
    We tried to come up with a compromise

    "I'll tell you if you say it first"
    "No," you say with your lips pursed
    You lean in and it's clearly true
    "That means that I love you"

    We sit staring, holding hands
    Waiting around until one of us stands
    I make the first move, stand up slowly
    You stay down lowly

    I notice something's wrong when I look at you
    You start turning a dark shade of blue
    That's when I realized you were dying
    But this was no time for my crying

    I dialed 9-1-1
    This is where it got fun
    "9-1-1 what's your emergency?"
    Ok, mouth, on the count of three

    "Hello, anyone there?"
    Come on, speak up let them know you're there
    "Hello? Say something"
    You hear them! Say something!

    Phone line clicks
    Your life flashes like little movie flicks
    First birthday, prom, graduation
    This is no time for celebration

    I remember pulling your body up the hill
    It looked like someone dropped you on a grill
    You were as lifeless as a doll
    You wouldn't have been if I made that call

    To this day I still feel guilt
    What could I have built?
    Your ashes are here, on my bed
    Go on, love, rest your head
