Sgt. Pepper

You weren't reaching forward
I wasn't falling back
Something caught that boiling water
Nobody ever explains it
That car was heading towards him
His basketball was crushed
Something just pulled him backwards
I've never seen your hands shake so much
And we all just stood there
And we all just tried
To force an inhale
Cause that kid's still alive
I remember those mornings
Once a week freezing pitch black drives
From the backseat I could see us swerving
That's when I started closing my eyes
Even so I still loved those weekends
Sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band
I was eight years old alone with total freedom
But you drove the car into the ditch again
And my brother and I just sat there
And we both just tried
To force an inhale
Cause we were still alive
Yes we were still alive
