lyrics

we'll take the train out past the edge of the city
we'll look back behind us and won't it be pretty
if only we hadn't been dying back there
we'll find a place where the stars will still shine
and i will be yours and you will be mine
and you'll start to heal when you're breathing better air

we'll live near the ocean and won't we be safe
and you'll stand on your feet and i firm in my faith
as i see you stumble, and see you rise again
and i'll be just as good as when i was a kid
and i'll learn to be humble just as you did
when your body betrayed you, you alone among men

and your spirit seemed to free itself from that mortal cage
grace came to you as if you'd seen the dawning of your age
you were christlike
you were christlike

yes cause the grace of god is ever-present
you were beautiful when you were convalescent
stuck in your bed you leaned your head on your fist
why am i even doing this?

we'll get the hell out of here and won't that be nice
cause we won't even have bodies and you'll be all right
and the rest of the world is dying down there
and we'll fly past the stars and we'll light up the sky
and we'll live there forever, just you and i
laughing and crying so hard that you're gasping for air

we'll live near heaven and won't it be true
that we'll do all the same things that we used to do
before the sickness, before it broke you down
and i will hear god like you say that you did
and like i maybe used to when i was a kid
when the world was silent, before that fatal sound

when your spirit seemed to whisper that it always planned for this
i hear you collapse in the next room and then nothing else exists
you were christlike
you were christlike
and i'm sorry
i'm so sorry
