why do we cry when you know how the story ends?
  how can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?
  we've all been there once but you never left
  this is me coming back back to get you out
  to say goodbye to make amends
  i'm not leaving this place
  unless i'm leaving with you
  you're the only person with a half decent heart here
  and i know you will put it to use
  until it's gone, gone, gone
  gone, gone, gone
  gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah
  
  na, na, na...
  
  and you close your eyes for the big sleep
  i hope you think of me
  
  na, na, na...
  
  and if you go, i'll be gone
  and you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
  but someday you'll agree that i was always meant for you
  you were always meant for me and you will see: that you're impossible
  you're impossible
  you're impossible
  you're impossible
  
  me and mr. dylan on the ride home
  we had a heart to heart about life
  but neither him or me could decide for ourselves if we wanted to outlive that night
  like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
  abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
  if only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
  what a wonderful world this could be!
  
  na, na, na...
  
  and you close your eyes for the big sleep
  i hope you think of me
  
  na, na, na...
  
  and if you go, i'll be gone
  and you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
  but someday you'll agree that i was always meant for you
  you were always meant for me and you will see: that you're impossible
  you're impossible
  you're impossible
  you're impossible
  
  so how many more examples until we break?
  how many sacrifices must we make?
  because we've all been there once before
  and it looks like we've returned once more
  is this the beginning or the end?
  
  the last two soldiers on the battlefield
  survivors of the war
  they aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
  "if you're listening, i'm missing him
  so somehow bring him home
  how did it come to this?"
  so the soldiers lift their rifles
  they're aiming at the head
  they think of their first love before they take their final breaths
  and some where in the distance they hear something someone said: "how did it come to this?"
  
  and as you close your eyes for the big sleep
  i hope you think of me, yeah
  
  na, na, na...
  
  and you close your eyes for the big sleep
  i hope you think of me
  
  na, na, na...
