  • Two to one
    Static to the sound of you and I
    Undone for the last time
    And there this was
    Hiding at the bottom of your
    Swimming pool some September
    And don't you think
    I wish that I could stay

    Your lips give you away
    I can hear it, a jet engine
    Through the center of the storm
    And I'm thinking I'd
    Prefer not to be rescued

    Two to none
    Roads that lead away from this
    I'm following myself just this once
    And I got spun
    It appears you're spun as well
    It happens when you're paying attention
    Well this could take all year, but

    When it's quiet, does she hear me?
    The jet is sent to the
    Center of the storm
    And I'm thinking I'd
    Prefer not to be rescued

    And oh, I can feel her, she's dying
    Just to keep me cold
    I'm finally numb, so please
    Don't get me rescued, rescued

    And it's unclear
    But this may be my last song
    Oh oh oh oh, I, I can tell
    She's raising hell to give to me
    But she got me warm
    So please don't get me rescued

    And oh oh, say you'll miss me one last time
    And I'll be strong,
    Whatever you do,
    Please don't get me rescued

    'Cause I'm feeling like
    I might need to be near you
    And I feel alright, so please
    Don't get me rescued Writer/s: ANDREW ROSS MCMAHON

  • Greg from Atlanta, GaI'm pretty sure this is wrong...Everything in Transit was finishing up being mastered when he was diagnosed with lymphomia, and the song was written before he was diagnosed.
