Briefest Moment

I was a small-town kid with no possessions
 And I was bored beyond belief
 I couldn't wait to get away from nowhere
 I made a plan to finally leave
 So I packed my bags and ran away
 I needed something more
 To take away this pain
 I found the medicine tucked in your locker
 I picked the lock and grabbed the pills
 I found a friend and then we went
 And then we went, and then we went
 We swallowed all of them up on the trestle
 I heard a melody so pure
 I felt an echo that was so familiar
 I left my misery behind
 If only for the briefest moment of time
 You lost your balance as I tried to grab you
 And then you slipped right through my hands
 I don't remember how I made it out alive
 But there you went and here I am
 I keep the guilt out on display
 It's my memorial to mark that day
 If I could fall for you but I cannot undo
 The briefest moment of time
