Crash song

I wrote this within a week after my accident using pieces of memory that came back to me. I have definitely moved on from the sadness of this song but I'm posting it because it was such an important part of my recovery.

I close my eyes
and all I see
is the screaming and the swerving
and her green eyes, looking at me

I think I say
it’ll be ok
we’ll be fine and live to dance another day
we’ll be fine and live to dance another day

The car is rolling
I can’t see a thing
but I came to when we landed
and I’m pulling on the seatbelt frantically

There’s a man outside
and I’m calling to him
I’m trying desperately to save her
but it’s all a blur
and it’s all a blur

I’m sitting in the grass
trying to avoid the glass
but the knats are getting thicker and the lights are getting closer
as we stand

I ask for her
over again
she’s the queen of england
with that collar on her neck
she’s the queen of england
with that collar on her neck

And now she’s wincing in pain
as he cleans her wounds
and I am watching from a chair
across the room
I am watching from a chair
across the room

I’m not on drugs
but I wish I was
I’m so jealous of the morphine in her arm
I’m so jealous of the morphine in her arm

as the tears fall down
and it’s all a blur
I grab your hand and start to pray hard
cause I can see it in your eyes that it still hurts

People come in
there’s a drink in my hand
it had a cherry at the bottom
and I’m talking like I don’t know
what’s going on

But it’s all ok
at least that’s what they say
The man with tats is just the cutest
and he asks us lot of questions
to calm us down

And now I’m saying good bye
and it seems so short
we escaped with our hearts beating
even more
we escaped with our hearts beating
even more

and as you turn to leave
and your head dips in the car
It takes a moment in my mind
to remember who you are
I take a moment in my mind
to remember who you are

I close my eyes
and all I see
is the screaming and the swerving
and her green eyes, looking at me
