Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled up a chair at the table
One extra plate
One empty seat
He taps my shoulder in the menu glow
Says
"Order big
You’re gonna leave"
He takes the window on vacations
Sunglasses on in every frame
I hold the camera
He holds the ticket
Says
"All these sunsets look the same"
[Chorus]
Grim reaper is my best friend
Always walking just one step behind
Grim reaper is my best friend
Keeps a bony hand close to mine
We laugh at the ending
Like we knew it all along
Grim reaper is my best friend
Humming my favorite song
[Verse 2]
He waits outside the bathroom door
Checks his watch while I wash my face
Fog on the mirror
He draws a heart
Leaves it dripping down the glass in place
We share a booth at crowded diners
He steals my fries
I steal his jokes
We trade glances when the news comes on
"Turn it louder
" he croaks
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m on nodding acquaintance with silence
With the flicker in fluorescent halls
He leans his scythe on the bedside rail
Says
"You can answer when it calls"
[low vocal register] I say
"I’m not done being broken"
He shrugs
"Who said you had to mend?"
We clink our cups in the evening light
"To every almost
Every end"
[Chorus]

Style
rock, Modern alt-rock with fuzzy rhythm guitars and a roomy live kit, medium-tempo drive. Verses stay dry and tight, bass pushing a steady pulse; chorus explodes with doubled male vocals, wide guitars, and a hooky, chanting gang vocal on the title line. Bridge drops to half-time with reverb-soaked guitar textures, then slams back into a final, shout-along chorus.

Prompt
Modern rock, the grim reaper is my best friend. Always on nodding acquaintance with death. "Death" the grim reaper, goes with me everywhere. Vacations. Restaurants. The bathroom.
