Karl (I Wonder What It’s Like To Die)

I was fourteen

My brother was twenty

When my dad sat me down

And told me you'd left me

I never listened when they called you crazy

I see so much of you in me lately

I wrote a song for you

And it's called 'Hide and Seek'

You never heard it but I, I got it tattooed on me

And I'd love to see you sitting in your chair

Smoking away, beautifully unaware

I wonder what it's like to die

Sometimes you cross my mind

Well that's a fucking lie 'cause you're on my mind

All of the time

I wonder what it's like to die

Got in the taxi after my London show

And your favourite song came on the radio

I cried a little then I stopped

Oh, you know I can't hide it

I miss you so much

It was Christmas day when my mum found you

She puts on a brave face but I can see right through

But your mind was beautiful, unusual, so loveable

But you were beautiful, unusual, so loveable

I wonder what it's like to die

Sometimes you cross my mind

Well that's a fucking lie 'cause you're on my mind

All of the time

I wonder what it's like to die
