about

This is a song about the loss of a loved one and the process by which everyone stumbles through the acceptance of that absolute.

lyrics

Falling asleep under a ceiling she talks to every evening, she won't
Reveal the tiny secret she knows is why she'll always be alone
And when she wakes up in the morning, she swears she hears the sun say, "I know".

And the trials and tribulations of getting up out of bed are the first
In a score that she will fight before she gets to check the front door
And it won't break her now, but she's trying not to whisper his name

She says, "I tried my very best to make it easy on you, love, but I failed."
She loses the plot, the air is waiting at the top of her throat.
And she remembers he's not there, pulls her hands apart and begins to pray

"I remember how you looked the last time that we kissed goodbye.
Now a moment can't get by me without your eyes looking up at me."
"I swear I'm sorry, honey, but I know that I was born to leave."
