lyrics

You jumped off the Prettyboy Dam
Left your Mercedes Benz at the top
Two fistfuls of grass in your hands
Must’ve hurt to hold on for that long

You didn’t jump off the higher side
And I’ll probably never get why
I tell myself you thought you would live
I tell myself you only wanted swim

You jumped the Prettyboy Dam
Came straight from your brand new apartment
Said you couldn’t fight so you ran
I think I finally get what you meant

You didn’t jump you just wanted to fly
You didn’t jump you weren’t trying to die
I shield my eyes from the pain you were in
I tell you myself you only wanted to swim

I’ll leave you be if you want
If you’d rather be left alone
I know the way you are
The way you’ve been from the start

I’ll let you sleep on your own
If you’d rather be left all alone
And though your memory is far
I know the way that you are

You jumped off the Prettyboy Dam
In three hundred dollar earrings
Didn’t say goodbye to your friends
Didn’t tell anyone you’d be leaving

And I wish I could’ve been there
Could’ve tackled us both to the ground
Would’ve held your hands and your hair
Could’ve driven back to my house

And I wish I could’ve been there
Though it probably wouldn’t have mattered
It wouldn’t have made the world care
About all the people it shatters

You didn’t jump you just touched the sky
Just wanted to open your eyes
And finally see the bad way you’re in
I tell myself you only to swim

You jumped off the Prettyboy Dam
Left your Mercedes Benz at the top
You jumped off the Prettyboy Dam
Cuz it hurt to hold on for that long
