Things I Wish I Never Knew

I remember looking for him
Walking down the river bank
Crossing the old bridge
I remember the green
And the smell of the water

More people joining, my memory
All staring down the water
I remember his blonde hair and his tiny physique
Floating down the river

Thing I wish I never knew
Thing I wish I never knew
Thing I wish I never knew
Thing I wish I never knew

I remember my mother trying
I remember her gasping for air
Unable to return him from his apparent death
A small town tragedy

Thing I wish I never knew
Thing I wish I never knew
Thing I wish I never knew
Thing I wish I never knew

He dies over and over
Again in my sleep
He dies over and over
Again in my sleep

Every night he dies
He dies in my sleep
Every night he dies
He dies in my sleep
