[Intro]
[Verse]
[Chorus]
(2x023x)
I ll be right behind you, Josephine
I won t leave you waiting in between
And the cigarette you bummed from me is almost burning out
You suck it till your fingers burn, then you throw it to the ground
I ll be right behind you, Josephine
Even after everything we ve seen seen
In this sterile room with blinding lights and faces pointing down
I only want to scream but still I just can t make a sound
Now hold my hand, I ll hold my breath
There s nothing in this world we really own
And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out
The only thing I d feel is less alone
I ll be right behind you, Josephine
I won t leave you waiting in this dream
While you watch the people speaking words you can t quite comprehend
You ask me if I d pinch you but my fingers wouldn t bend
I ll be right behind you, Josephine
Just like I was when we were seventeen
I guess that s only been a year but still it feels like 34
I don t feel like I am living in the same skin anymore
Now hold my hand, I ll hold my breath
There s nothing in this world we really own
And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out
The only thing I d feel is less alone
I ll be right behind you, Josephine
Even when my soul s an amputee
And my bleeding heart is sinking in the lake inside my chest
So I grab what I can cling to and I leave behind the rest
Now hold my hand, I ll hold my breath
There s nothing in this world we really own
And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out
The only thing I d feel is less alone
Now hold my hand, and take my breath
And leave behind the things you ll never own
And Jesus Christ, please tear my heart out
I wanna feel a little less alone
