Lyrics:

What you have to understand
is she’s unhappy
and she can’t be more to you

And she hurts a little more
than normal people should

(CHORUS)
Oh, Alaska
I know you smoked to die
But that doesn’t tell me why
You had to leave
I don’t believe
That this labyrinth
destroys our souls
it only makes them stronger
don’t you see

And we forget what we do to each other
till we lose it and then we’re too late

She was the hurricane while I was just the drizzle
in this rain

(CHORUS)

And I’ll wait for you
I promised myself

And I forgive you
for taking the easy way out

And you forgive me
for having the courage
to wait it all out 

And among the buried bottles
of Strawberry Hill
I’ll sit here and I’ll think
of you still

And I hope it’s beautiful
where you are
And I hope you’re happy
out of this labyrinth
of suffering

And I came to seek
A great perhaps
And I found you,
Alaska

(x2)
