  • Sometimes you look the same
    Just like you did before the accident
    When you're staring into space
    It's hard to believe you don't remember it
    Woke up in the ambulance
    You pieced it all together on the drive

    I know you don't remember calling me
    But I told you, even then, you looked so pretty
    In a hospital bed
    I remember, you said you were scared
    And so was I

    In a standstill on the five
    I thought it was unusually early traffic
    Usually, I don't panic, I
    Just wanted to be on time
    When I saw the ambulances on the shoulder
    I didn't even think of pulling over
    I pieced it all together late that night

    And I know you don't remember calling me
    But I told you even then, you looked so pretty
    In a hospital bed
    I remember you said you were scared
    And so was I

    What if it happened to you on a different day
    On a bridge where there wasn't a rail in the way
    Or a neighborhood street where the little kids play
    Or the Angeles Crest in the snow or the rain?
    What if you weren't alone? There were kids in the car
    What if you were remote? No one knows where you are
    If you'd changed anything, would you not have survived?
    You're alive, you're alive, you're alive

    And I know you don't remember calling me
    But I told you, even then, you looked so pretty
    In your hospital bed
    I remember you said you were scared
    And so am I Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas Baird O'Connell
