lyrics

Jessie took too many pills when we were 17
But she didn't mean to kill herself in my opinion
Because in her hands the police found a gold engagement ring
The type a teenage boy can just afford

And there were 2 dead girls lying on the bed
One I knew and one I never met
And how I wish I knew you

They took her to the hospital as fast as they could drive
Although her brain was dead they tried to keep her heart alive
A moment gave so they could save the baby left inside
But soon enough they turned off the machine

And there were 2 dead girls lying on the bed
One I knew and one I never met
But how I wish I knew you

But you had to go
And leave me alone
Now I'm far from home

What about our baby Jessie

“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine
