Named After An Inside Joke lyrics

Wake me up
Let me know you're still alive
I try to sleep it off
But dreams aren’t working on my side
I can't say goodbye

How have you been these past years?
You still swim like a current through the oceans of my mind
And I've been counting down the days of my life
Still beating myself up all this time

And I hope to see your face within the next few years
And I hope that you can see me

You’re burning bridges, carving memorial plaques that say "Closed Indefinitely."
You did the burning, sent the smoke signals reading "To all friends: Wake me up"
I can't find sunlight. I've only seen skies of blue and gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I fear you'll just talk to me and say it's all okay
I know it's not okay

I hope that you wake up enough to know that I'm still here
And I hope you don’t forget me

If I could write you one last letter
I’d hope it sinks in to any measure that I miss you
That we miss you, including post-scripted reminders
And I hope the world comes crashing down around your ears
And I hope that you can see me through all these f*cking tears
And I hope don't forget me
And I hope don’t forget me
And I hope don't forget me
