I'll be right behind you, Josephine   I won't leave you waiting in between   And the cigarette you bummed from me is almost burning out   You suck it till your fingers burn, then you throw it to the ground      I'll be right behind you, Josephine   Even after everything we've seen seen   In this sterile room with blinding lights and faces pointing down   I only want to scream but still I just can't make a sound      Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath   There's nothing in this world we really own   And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out   The only thing I'd feel is less alone      I'll be right behind you, Josephine   I won't leave you waiting in this dream   While you watch the people speaking words you can't quite comprehend   You ask me if I'd pinch you but my fingers wouldn't bend      I'll be right behind you, Josephine   Just like I was when we were seventeen   I guess that's only been a year but still it feels like 34   I don't feel like I am living in the same skin anymore      Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath   There's nothing in this world we really own   And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out   The only thing I'd feel is less alone      I'll be right behind you, Josephine   Even when my soul's an amputee   And my bleeding heart is sinking in the lake inside my chest   So I grab what I can cling to and I leave behind the rest      Now hold my hand, I'll hold my breath   There's nothing in this world we really own   And Jesus Christ, if you tore my heart out   The only thing I'd feel is less alone      Now hold my hand, and take my breath   And leave behind the things you'll never own   And Jesus Christ, please tear my heart out   I wanna feel a little less alone
