7 Minutes Lyrics

You say I was blind from the start
But now I'm making my way to wherever you are
'Cause I got a call on the phone
You said that hospital bed ain't nothing like home

Well, they got you stuck on some odd machine
Draining your blood like vampire teeth
Scalpel to skin, man, them cuts run deep
You said you can't wait to get some sleep

I wasn't quite sure what it was from the beginning
But every moment with you I wish I could relive it
Forever's a lie 'cause there'll always be a limit
But you oughta know that you were my 7 minutes
My 7 minutes

Once upon a time you were full of health
Now I won't lie, you don't look like yourself
Your skin was so cold to the touch
Reaching for life when death's in your clutch

They filled you up with all sorts of drugs
Then they all agreed to pull the plug
I watched as you took your last breath
Guess now you could say you finally got some rest

I wasn't quite sure what it was from the beginning
But every moment with you I wish I could relive it
Forever's a lie 'cause there'll always be a limit
But you oughta know that you were my 7 minutes
My 7 minutes

I wasn't quite sure what it meant from the beginning
But every moment with you I wish I could relive it
