I wish I could say I had a lot to to do with this song ... but I didn't.  I contributed to the chorus.  The rest of the song is classic "Ian".

Wake up, medicate, again
Ever after is a friend
But you and I we get so high
We never quite came down
Ever after again

What could be more beautiful than you and I
Falling from grace
All the things we'll never know
So beautiful they're slipping away

Light my past on fire
Spell it right in black and white
A coward's here for hire

What could be more beautiful than you and I
Falling from grace
All the things we'll never know
So beautiful they're slipping away

It's beautiful (slipping away)

It's time to pack up and vacate
I'm so fed up of closing up
And running from myself

What could be more beautiful than you and I
Falling from grace
All the things we'll never know
so beautiful they're slipping away

Wake up, medicate, again
'Cause ever after is my friend
