[Intro]
(Alright)
(Ripe and fresh berries)
(Everything I have's a buck a bag)
(Strawberries!)
(Buck a bag)
(Red, ripe, fresh strawberries!)
[Verse 1]
I had a dream last night
Had a dream last night, you died
Didn’t wrap my head around it
World of a relief when I woke up
We were in a dark place
You didn’t leave with me alive
Didn’t wrap my head around it
World of a relief
[Chorus]
Never leave these eyes
Never leave these eyes
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day that I saw you alive
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day when I saw you alive
[Verse 2]
I had to hide, I had to hide your obituary under my shelf
If it saw the light of my life it wouldn't help
I had to hide, I had to hide your obituary under my shelf
If it saw the light of my life
[Chorus]
Never leave these eyes
Never leave these eyes
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day that I saw you alive
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day when I saw you alive
Never leave these eyes
Never leave these eyes
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day that I saw you alive
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day when I saw you alive
[Bridge]
And the memory still haunts me
As I sip my coffee I can’t believe
Why would my mind weave such pain for me?
(And the memory) And the memory
(It still haunts me) Still haunts me
(As I sip my coffee) As I sip my coffee I can’t believe
Why would my mind—
[Chorus]
Never leave these eyes, forty-five
Only remember the day that I saw you alive (Never leave these eyes)
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day when I saw you alive
Lights up
Lights up
Never leave these eyes, forty-five
Only remember the day that I saw you alive (Never leave these eyes)
Lights up, forty-five
Only remember the day when I saw you alive
Lights up
Lights up
Lights up
