Kettering
I wish that I had known in that first minute we met
The unpayable debt that I owed you
Because you'd been abused by that bone that refused you
And you hired me to make up for that
Walking in that room when you had tubes in your arms
Those singing morphine alarms out of tune
Kept you sleeping and even, and I didn't believe them
When they called you a hurricane thunderclap
When I was checking vitals I suggested a smile
You didn't talk for awhile, you were freezing
You said you hated my tone, it made you feel so alone
And so you told me I ought to be leaving
But something kept me standing by that hospital bed
I should have quit but instead I took care of you
You made me sleep and uneven, and I didn't believe them
When they told me that there was no saving you
Kettering
Ojalá hubiera sabido en ese primer minuto que nos conocimos
La deuda impagable que te debía
Porque te había abusado de ese hueso que te rechazó
Y me contrataste para compensar eso
Caminando en esa habitación cuando tenías tubos en tus brazos
Esas alarmas de morfina cantando fuera de sintonía
Te mantuvo durmiendo e incluso, y yo no les creí
Cuando te llamaron huracán trueno
Cuando estaba comprobando signos vitales sugerí una sonrisa
No hablaste por un tiempo, te estabas congelando
Dijiste que odiabas mi tono, te hacía sentir tan solo
Así que me dijiste que debía irme
Pero algo me mantuvo parado junto a la cama del hospital
Debí renunciar, pero en vez de eso me encargué de ti
Me hiciste dormir y desigual, y no les creí
Cuando me dijeron que no había nada que te salvara
