 When I was playin' dead I'd lie down.
 I wouldn't move  though everything else was...
 
 The swingset kid's playin' catch with their dads...
 No one noticed yet that I was gone.
 Then she came along...
 
 And love, I got you didn't I?
 I got you didn't  I?
 I got you...
 
 And love, I got you didn't I?
 I got you didn't  I?
 I got you...
 When I was alive I didn't know why I died.
 I guess I thought everything was dead.
 Your hair is red; in other lights it's black;
 And when you laugh,
 it brings me back...
 And love, I got you didn't I?
 I got you didn't I?
 I got you...
 And love, I got you didn't I?
 I got you didn't I?
 I got you...
 When I was playin' dead;
 I'd lie down.
 I wouldn't move;
 Though everything else was...
 The swingset;
 Kid's playin' catch with their dads...
 No one noticed yet...
 When I was alive
 I didn't know why I died.
 I guess I thought everything was that way.
 Your hair is grey, in other lights it's black...
 And when you laugh...
 still brings me back.
 And love, I got you didn't I?
 I got you didn't I?
 I got you...
 And love, I got you didn't I?
 I got you didn't I?
 I got you...
 You got me...
