On To The Next Lyrics - David Wilcox

Someone said it was suicide 

His empty chair is all we see 

Not that anyone knew him well 

But he sat behind me 

Now they come with the questioning 

Now they're so sincere 

Do you remember anything 

That he said to you here? 

If you get close against the window 

You can feel it closer 

A trace of a breeze that makes it through 

I remember you said 

It's almost enough that you could breath it 

If you had to that's what I remember most of you 

You can hear a pencil drop 

And the fluorescent lights 

Lean forward and keep your answers 

Out of sight 

If you're stuck on a tricky one 

If the question's too complex 

Don't try too figure it out, they say 

Just move on to the next 

Who's to blame for a high-school suicide? 

Ooh, they claim it's the best years of our lives
