Pat Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Pat, we need your brains back
Pat, we need your fire and your imagination
Pat, we know you fucked up
But we don't care you fucked up, everybody's fucked up

[Verse 1]
Thought I heard your voice the other night
And sure enough, it came from you
Thought I'd be surprised that you weren't dead
But all I was was glad

[Chorus 2]
Just sitting by your bed
And talking to your head
And hearing what you said
As if you'd never left

[Verse 2]

Can't you see the truth?
Nothing's worse than ever, falling in a dream's where
We can see each other

[Chorus 3]
Saw you the other night
Have to say something wasn't right
Of course, but I didn't mind
Cause seeing you being all alive

[Verse 3]
Just walking in the room made me so relieved
Like everything was fine and you had never died
Or second-guessed your mind or gave up on our trust
Thought you'd gone too far for us to take you back
But distances like that, Pat, don't exist in fact
