Hey 
We almost died 
On our way to Toronto 
The plane was shaking all around 
I put my teeth in my heart 
And my dreams 
Back on the ground 

Hey 
We almost lived 
In love 
With each other 
My heart was shaking all around 
I put my teeth in a plane and i prayed 
It would never 
Come back down 

Hey 
My daddy said 
"One thing you can count on 
Is things will change." 
And he was right 
Though i never realized 
It would be 
The light fading from your eyes 
And if we could re-live 
All those wonderful times 
Maybe i would appreciate you more 

Babe 
That's how it goes 
Liking a tattoo 
>From a crakerjack box 
Put it on the wrist 
And wish it was LSD 
So I would melt myself into infinity 
And recapture this lost humanity 
Or even 
Maybe turn into a crocodile 
See ya later alligator
