-- I'm Gonna Stay --

I died today, you've yet to notice
I was out trying to pick up dinner for us
It was a way I hoped it would never be
I ran a light and a truck smashed into me
I could tell I was dead when I saw my self still in the front seat
Even though I was standing in the street
I seen the truck driver crying taking the blame
I screamed out a counter claim
Exclaiming the fault was all mine
But he couldn't hear me, so I went up the incline
And walked back into town as other vehicles whizzed by
I just wanted to get back to you so I could say goodbye
I seen others like me as I walk all alone
Just as lost and confused as me wandering home
I didn't try to talk to them I had deeper concerns 
Like hating myself for never having learned
You always told be to be careful when I drive
If I had only listened I would be alive
So now here I am wishing you could see me 
I wish I wasn't so fool hearty 
I want to be here to comfort you when you learn what I've done
And make sure you don't drown in a bottle of bourbon 
I know you need me even though I'm passed away
So I'm not going into the light, I'm gonna stay
I've made up my mind heaven or hell can wait
I'm gonna spend eternity next to my mate
I know you would advise against me dodging the end
But I only want to remain with my best friend 
So I will be here to watch you grow old
And I hope you move on and don't face life alone
Even though you can't hear what I'm saying
I want you to be happy, and to make sure I'm staying
