I Was Somewhere Cold, Dark... And Lonely
guitar chords lyrics
I almost died at twenty-one
In January, driving northbound on Abbott Rd
the car in front of us slammed their brakes down hard
and slid off onto the right-hand shoulder
We were probably following too close,
but I honestly can't remember
We swerved into the turn lane
and lost control when we hit a patch of black ice
that would carry us right into the unavoidable path
of a Saturn barreling south in the opposite direction
My life did not flash before my eyes
I was trying to steer the van anywhere else
as time ground to a halt and froze
Then exploded violently
as metal collapsed into metal
as time ground to a halt and froze
Then exploded violently
as metal collapsed into metal
at a horrific speed
There is always enough time to do the things you love
(until it's gone)
