Back to Nebraska

Where we met

Beat-up strangers cheating death

Dirty minds and cigarettes

In an instant, we were friends

We laughed all night

Each new morning fizzy light

The greatest things I never knew

I learned from you

Spring emerged from the frost

We got to find what we lost

Forever after, back to Nebraska

You're gone, I forgot, I called you up

To say how sad I've been

I needed to hear your voice again

I feel you here all the time, your hand's in mine now

Everywhere I go

I will never be fine, forever's a fault line

My flight arrived

The doctor said you couldn't drive

You picked me up in that crazy ride

And we laughed until we cried

A year of grace

Teeming life beneath the waves

I held your body like a spoon

And died with you

You're gone, I forgot, I called you up

To say how sad I've been

I needed to hear your voice again

I feel you here all the time, your hand's in mine now

Everywhere I go

I will never be fine, forever's a fault line

Eddie picked up, said, "I feel so lost"

He said, "Yeah, I do too"

There wasn't much we could do but get right with the silence

You're gone, I forgot, I called you up

To say how sad I've been

I needed to hear your voice

Here all the time, your hand's in mine now

Everywhere I go

I will never be fine, forever's a fault line

Get right with the silence

Get right with the silence

We'll get right, right with the silence

We'll get right, right with the silence

Get right, get right with the silence

Get right, get right with the silence
