Dio's Best Friend

We drove upstate
On your birthday
Your step-brother passed away in late July
And you said you need a friend to go to the wake
I said okay, but that's the first time that you called me in a year

When we arrived, I met your mom
She was drunk and whispered to you that I was cute
And she gave me your brother's only suit

You wanna leave, don't forget to breathe
I watch you tiptoe through the pews as I pursue

So we're in the car, and I'm at the wheel
I keep my sleeves over my hands so they don't freeze
So you pull me close, you touch my hair
You push it back behind my ears and wipe away a tear
