Standard (EADGBE)

You talked me to sleep last night

I hadn't felt that sad in years

Your eyes like glass mistakes

They moved me close to tears

You speak those favorite fables which I'm yet to live

And casually confirm my fears

That I've got nothing to give

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets

But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk

I wish I could say I've come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died

I almost died

I take it back, all of it

 Those names I called myself

The heroes of my childhood

 Like hardbacks on the shelf

I take it back those promises I made to everyone

I'm falling through a ribbon last

Before I'd learned to run

I wish I could say that I've got no regrets

But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk

I wish I could say I've come to time like old

But as you said goodbye, I almost died

 I almost died

 I almost died
