Cancer Lyrics

State Lines Cancer

We barely knew each other's names, yet talked for hours
Sharing drinks on the back porch on that cold December day
And it's funny how times flies when you're lost in a pair of hazel eyes, watching the sunrise

Now I'm taking an hour drive to this hospital just to watch you die and I can't grip this steering wheel
And I'd dare the optimist to find the good that came out of this come I'm at a loss for words

And I hear those angels knocking at your door sweety, don't let them in
No, don't you dare open
Are you tired of breathing heavily when you're laying in bed at night, trying to sleep? Well I'll let you go if you're suffering

The weight is sliding off your bones and your hair's slowly getting thin, leaving wrinkles in your skin
The doctors said go pack your things, so we found you a wooden home, to spend the rest of your days alone

And I hear those angels knocking at your door sweety, don't let them in
No, don't you dare open
Are you tired of breathing heavily when you're laying in bed at night, trying to sleep? Well I'll let you go if you're suffering

I spent hours up, building courage just to pull this plug
I spent nights awake, thinking of the last words to say

It was twelve o'clock when we got that call
