"Life on a Chain" by Pete Yorn.

"I live on a chain
And you share the same last name
As a joke
I sent a bottle of whiskey
As you choked
You said it made you feel dirty
And I was waiting over here for life to begin
I was looking for the new thing
And you were the sunshine
Headed my front-line
I was alone
You were just around the corner from me.

Time alone is good
I spend my days in the city
Dirty neighborhood
You know you’ll never convince me
So I sold the town away
I couldn’t wait to forget you
Was killed in half a day
I hadn’t time to regret you
And I was waiting over here for life to begin
I was looking for the new thing
And you were the sunshine
Headed my front line
I was alone
You were just around the corner from me.
Yeah

I, I’m still on the chain
And you
Had the same last name
As a joke I sent a bottle of whiskey
As you choked
You said it made you feel dirty
Waiting over here, for life to begin,
Still looking for the new thing
And you were the sunshine
Headed my front-line
I was alone
You were just around the corner from me.
Yeah

You are the sunshine
Headed my front-line
Just around the corner from me
You were
You are the sunshine
Headed my front-line
Just around the corner from me
Just around the corner from me"


--Pete Yorn, "Life on a Chain"

I love this song.
