20 Degrees

The statues and concrete headstones

Never taught you how to stop being alone

Even with so many real people standing around

You're crossing the dotted yellow line

As the headlights are brightening up your eyes

The time for hesitation and second thoughts is gone

And there's only one way left to do this

You're the spent wood's last ashes

Near the bottom of the fire

And every time i dive inside

Your salty sea of misery

You can't hide

The only thing keeping me alive

Just wish i could've been there to protect you

From everything that happened:

Your daddy dying slowly

And your mama leaving faster

But i know all the sh*t that broke you

Is what keeps our bodies pressed together

You said "20 degrees this friday but california's burning "

And there's only one way left to do this

You're the spent wood's last ashes

Near the bottom of the fire

Every time i dive inside

Your salty sea of misery

You can't hide

The only thing keeping me alive
