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
