Your Parade

Late last night, I was told you had tried

I can't keep you from trying

Men in white coats fought to keep you alive

I can't keep you from dying

But I'll come

Yeah, I'll come to your parade

And lay white flowers on your grave

All of your sweetness and wisdom combined

They can't keep you from trying

All the advice from your heartbroken friends

It can't keep you from dying

But I'll come

Yeah, I'll come to your parade

And lay white flowers on your grave

Call on your friends, cover your tracks

Call on your mother and ask for her back

Call on yourself, you're on your own

Call us and say that you're on the right track

So summon your love surround

Gather 'round and around and around

All of your vibrancy bristles and shines

For much more than a lifetime

But I'm dreading the day when the world finally caves

Stops throwing you lifelines

But I'll come

Yeah, I'll come to your parade

And lay white flowers on your grave

Call on your friends, cover your tracks

Call on your mother and ask for her back

Call on yourself, you're on your own

Call us and say that you're on the right track

Leaving is easy now

Better now, better now, better now

So summon your love surround

Gather 'round and around and around

Call on your friends, cover your tracks

Call on your mother and ask for her back

Call on yourself, you're on your own
