Funeral

I walked across a tightrope
 A thousand miles high
 I see it all so clear now that I'm on the other side
 The rope was fraying under my feet
 As I made my way across
 Thought for sure I'd fall and break my body on the rocks
 And seagulls would devour me
 Until I was all gone
 And I'd never get to tell you
 That I think you were the one
 Just because, just because
 Just because, just because
 I'm dead
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Just because
 I knew at once when you walked in
 I'd never be the same
 For better or for worse
 You'd be to credit or to blame
 But since I'm dead I'll never get to whisper in your ear
 These things I never say and so
 You will never hear
 Isn't it true that
 We are all mostly alone?
 I listen to the pre-recorded
 [?] that you told
 Just because, just because
 Just because, just because
 I'm dead
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Just because
 I will not be drunk
 And all over you this time
 I'll behave much better
 Now that I am not alive
 I just love you that is all
 So I hope you come to my funeral
 I'll be the one in the wooden box
 Lying there alone
 I have saved a space for you
 We'll hum a tune about our two-for-twos
 They'll lower our bodies
 We will rise to that tightrope in the sky
 Just because, just because
 Just because, just because
 I'm dead
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Doesn't mean that I can't love
 Just because
