[Verse 1]
Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother
And making him take me back down to the water
To the lake where we sailed and laughed with our father
I will not desert him, I will not desert him

[Chorus]
No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean
Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
I put my face in the dirt, then finally I see
The sky that has been avoiding me

[Verse 2]
I started this letter, I'm gonna send it to Ruba
It'll be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida
With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
She'll recite the prayer of my pen
Saying, "Time take us forward, relieve me this longing
They can land that plane on my heart, I don't care
Just give me November, the warmth of your whisper
In the freezing darkness of my room"

[Chorus]
But no matter what I would do in an attempt to replace
All these pills that I take to balance my brain
I've seen that curious girl with the look on her face
So surprised, she stares out from her display case
