Wait Watched you throw out your bouquet Now I think about you everyday I'm alone now in my bed And there's a lake And at the bottom you'll find all our friends They don't swim cause they're all dead We never are what we intend, or invent 'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart Think something dark's living down in my heart And if I wanted to die before I got old I should've started some years ago digging that hole Well I carry this box to the proper place And when I lower it down I let you fade away I hope that you would do this for me (I hope that you would do this for me) Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver platter If I thought it would help you get away I hope that you would do this for me (I hope that you would do this for me) A deer that a hunter shot in the heart Some dogs that got hit by cars All came to spill their guts And we spoke About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost And which songs we had loved the most And then we all turned to dirt And dust Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold Some die looking for a hand to hold Well I carry this box to its proper place And when I lower it down I let you fade away I hope that you would do this for me (I hope that you would do this for me) Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver platter If I thought it would help you get away I hope that you would do this for me (I hope that you would do this for me) I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates Now I'm drowning in the flood I made Well explain myself to me on the other side I'll watch from Heaven when I die Well I'll carry this box to the proper place And when I lower it down I let you fade away I hope that you would do this for me (I hope that you would do this for me) I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate If I thought it would help you get away I hope that you would do this for me (I hope that you would do this for me)
