lyrics

Life is beautiful
But we only can enjoy it for a time
Some of us live for many years
But you were cut down in your prime

And I’m sorry that we had to say goodbye
And I’m sorry that you met this tragedy
And I’m sorry that I couldn’t save your life that night
I’m sorry that I lost you, my white iPhone 3G

You were the most loyal of friends
A constant companion of my own
You stayed by my side till the end
Even though you were just a phone

And I’m sorry it was I that did you in
And I’m sorry that you met this tragedy
And I’m sorry that I couldn’t save your life that night
I’m sorry that I killed you, my white iPhone 3G

’Twas a bitter cold night in New England
And I had been up far too late
Fell asleep on the couch with the TV still on
And opened my eyes, half-awake

My pants lay beside me in a pile on the couch
A cup of milk sat on the chair
And you, my poor iPhone, sat all by yourself
How was I to get you upstairs?

I groggily searched for ideas
And figured a way to take you up
I would carry my pants in my right arm
And balance the phone atop the cup

And I’m sorry that I’m stupid when I’m sleepy
And I’m sorry that I that I doze off from TV
And I’m sorry that I don’t have a steadier hand
I’m sorry that I drowned you, my white iPhone 3G

My white iPhone 3G
