Oh, Carissa when I first saw you
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
You were a lovely child
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And the last time I saw you
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
You were 15 and pregnant and running wild
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I remember wondering could there be
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
a light at the end of your tunnel
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But I left Ohio then and
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
had pretty much forgotten all about you
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I guess you were there some years ago
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
at a family funeral
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But you were one of so many relatives
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I didn't know which one was you
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Yesterday morning I woke up to so many
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
330 area code calls
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I called my mom back and she was in tears
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
and asked had I spoke to my father
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Carissa burned to death last night
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
in a freak accident fire
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
In her yard in Brewster her daughter came home
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
from a party and found her
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Same way as my uncle
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
who was her grandfather
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
An aerosol can blew up in the trash,
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
goddamn what were the odds?
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
She was just getting ready to go
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
to her midnight shift as an RN in Wadsworth
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Then she vanished up in flames like that
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
but there had to be more
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
to her life's worth
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Everyone's grieving out of their minds
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
making arrangements and taking drugs
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But I'm flying out there tomorrow because
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I need to give and get some hugs
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Cause I got questions that
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I'd like to get answered
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I may never get them, but Carissa
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I gotta know how did it happen?
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Carissa was 35
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
You don't just raise two kids
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
and take out your trash and die
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
She was my second cousin
