Eva

Me and Eva, too young to understand

Changing directions on the breeze of that April

I was looking in her eyes, as smoke filled the room

The smell killed my heart like nothing had before

Banging on that blue door, as panic filled our minds

Right there is when I saw it, white paper on the floor

The words pierced my soul, love

‘When you read this, I hope I died’

I screamed out my lungs

Right there is where we both died

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

She gets back

Dad was driving, mom was dying, two hours on that road

I called up crying

‘Please don't go back inside’

The smoke killed my heart again and she had left it all behind

I felt like a fucking coward when the lights left my side

Eva screamed in my face

Please open your eyes

I'm here and I won't leave you

But don't leave yourself behind

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

She gets back

Sitting around this table, the house became a town

She looked at me as if she wanted to say ‘You gotta give me everything’

Wish I was nothing, come crawl in my skin

Take everything you can, leave nothing here

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

Don't wanna see no hospital

I'll see her when she gets back

She gets back
