lyrics

If I could take away this day, there'd be no hiding the pain. I'm just waiting for the scales to harden on my skin. So maybe this is growing up; I got my new skin. You know, I swam in the Atlantic the day you died. Maybe that was as close as I could be to you up in Jersey. While I laughed in the waves, it seems like you were just letting go. I might be afraid of where you went. I'm not getting in.
