Life Vest

Charlotte Martin


Nervous in the break room
Waiting for the ball to drop
The other foot to drop now

Started with a good year
Turned into a bad year
Salvaging the scraps I can

Thought we had a good time
Thought we had tricked time
You couldn't get away from me

I didn't feel the car crash
Didn't feel my heart smash
It happens too easily

Great ideas
God, we had great ideas,
Didn't know this could happen to me
Struggling
To see the meaning in all of the meaningless
I wasted when I had you here

Breaking out the life vest
Cramming for the big test
Cupping tears in your hand

Not ready to lose you
Not ready for any of this to
Mess up my plans

Great ideas
God, we had great ideas,
Didn't know this could happen to me
Struggling
To see the meaning in all of the meaningless
I wasted when I had you here

Never known so much love
I never known so much
I've never known so much

Promise me you'll hang on
Promise you I'll hang on
Promise

Will you wear your life vest
I will wear my life vest
Promise
Promise
Promise
Promise
Promise
