lyrics

I told my friends you were a soulmate
Like that means anything
Like I know what it means
Home for a funeral
The first of its kind
Sent you a photo
of my friends sleeping in a pile
And I wore yellow
The email said "bright colors" I wore yellow
And hoped I wouldn't be the only one

Bobby hugged me after the service
A little too hard and that's when the tears started
I sobbed into his synthetic fleece
Piled high and soft and black and deep

I was the shadow of a waxwing slain
I was the shadow of a waxwing slain
It wasn't supposed to work out this way
It wasn't supposed to work out this way
But maybe I'm wrong
Maybe it was
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes (x2)

My friend Tess was the most graceful thing you've ever seen
Long and slender limbs and curly hair
Slow to trust but it'd be hard to find a heart as pure as hers
She let me in so much more than I deserved
Then a truck crushed her bike
Took her life
And I've never met her mom before
But she's folding her hands round mine
And I love her
And I love you
And I love them all and I
Know that everyone I've ever loved
Is someday going to die

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes (x4)

And George says
I don't mind
Being uncomfortable if I'm
Uncomfortable with someone
Who makes me feel alive (x4?)

I was the shadow of a waxwing slain
I was the shadow of a waxwing slain
It wasn't supposed to work out this way
It wasn't supposed to work out this way
But maybe I'm wrong
Maybe it was
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

It took me so damn long to find you
Took me so God damned long
Could have built a life together
When we were still young
But we were dumb when we were young
Maybe it wouldn't have worked out
Maybe I'd have lost you
And never known how
And I'd be missing you
Be missing you right now
