People Get Back Up

[Verse]
Hey man I haven't seen you for a long time
New Year's Eve and you were high
But you were always kind
Still stuck at sixteen
Nobody colluding

[Bridge]
Jessie
I remember how you'd come to all our shows
Afterwards you'd tell me big ideas of your own

[Chorus]
I guess I heard that you were down
I didn't wanna pry
People get back up
Or else they die

[Verse]
Your cousin called
And I just knew that it was bad news
Same story different details
Just like David
Just like all the live wire boys
I knew at school
So funny and so cool

I have a memory of picking up
I'm in the front seat
Of a stranger's car
A big old Cadillac
Driven by a maniac
Forgot that you were in the back
I was not alone in fact
Thanks for making sure
I got out of the front seat of that car
Thanks for talking to me in the par

[Bridge]
I didn't know you well enough
To feel like I was let down by your pain
I had a hunch we were the same

[Chorus]
I guess I'd heard that you were down
Didn't wanna pry
Next time, next time I'll ask why
People always get back up
They always get back up
( They always get back up )
They always get back up
Or else they die
People get back up
Unless they die
