Sometimes, you look the same

Just like you did before the accident

When you′re staring into spaceIt'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 stand-still on The Five, thought it was unusually 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 pulling 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
