Wake me up.
Let me know you're still alive.
I try to sleep it off.
But dreams aren't working on my side.
I can't say goodbye.

How have you been these past years?
You still swim like a current through the oceans of my mind.
And I've been counting down the days of my life.
Still beating myself up all this time.

And I hope to see your face within the next few years,
And I hope that you can see me.

You're burning bridges, carving memorial plaques that say "Closed Indefinitely."
You did the burning, sent the smoke signals reading "To all friends: Wake me up"
I can't find sunlight. I've only seen skies of blue and gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I fear you'll just talk to me and say it's all okay.
I know it's not okay.

I hope that you wake up enough to know that I'm still here,
And I hope you don't forget me.

If I could write you one last letter,
I'd hope it sinks in to any measure that I miss you,
That we miss you, including post-scripted reminders.

And I hope the world comes crashing down around your ears,
And I hope that you can see me through all these fucking tears.
And I hope don't forget me.
And I hope don't forget me.
And I hope don't forget me.
