You Know You’re Not Dead - Broken Records

You Know You’re Not Dead Lyrics

Send me a note that I might know
With all my aching heart
Send me the dirt that I might hold
So that I know where to startAnd send me alive for I am not rich
Send me alive for I am not rich
Before my aching heart
Before my aching heartAnd send me a hope so I might hold
'Cause all my body aches
Send me the earth so I might put
This letter up on a stakeSend me a hope that I might not wretch
Send me a hope that I might not wretch
Before my aching heart
Before my aching heart'Cause the worst, can you not see?
That nothing else matters
'Cause you are my body
And you are my armsSo come on, girl
You know you're not dead
You know you're my heart

You know you're not open wideAnd sing out the note so I can hear
Just like when we're alone
Sing out the notes so they can burn
A pattern across the soulSing me the note so that I can burn
Sing me the note so that I can burn
Before my aching heart
Before my aching heart'Cause the worst, can you not see?
That nothing else matters
'Cause you are my body
And you are my armsSo come on, girl
You know you're not dead
You know you're my heart
You know you're not open wideSo bury me in weird dreams of love
Well, you are my home
Bury me and dreams of growing old
With you in my armsSo bury me, oh bury meSend me a note that I might know
With all my aching heart
Send me the dirt that I might hold
So that I know where to startSend me alive for I am not rich
Send me alive for I am not rich
And you're my aching heart
And you're my aching heart now
