The 30th

Sometimes you look the same Just like you did before the accident When you're starin' into space It's hard to believe you don't remember it Woke up in the ambulance You pieced it all together on the drive I know you don't remember calling me But I told you even then you looked so pretty In a hospital bed I remember you said You were scared And so was I In a standstill on the 5 Thought it was unusual the early traffic Usually I don't panic I just wanted to be on time When I saw the ambulances on the shoulder I didn't even think of pullin' over I pieced it all together late that night And I know you don't remember calling me But I told you even then you looked so pretty In a hospital bed I remember you said You were scared And so was I What if it happened to you on a different day On a bridge where there wasn't a rail in the way Or a neighborhood street where the little kids play Or the Angeles Crest in the snow or the rain What if you weren't alone There were kids in the car What if you were remote No one knows where you are If you changed anything would you not have survived You're alive you're alive you're alive And I know you don't remember calling me But I told you even then you looked so pretty In your hospital bed I remember you said You were scared And so am I
