about

The terrifying prospect that someone who lights up your world may no longer be in it.

lyrics

Something about
the cadence in which she spoke just let you know
that in one way or other, you'd never be the same
maybe it was the way she
used your full name to ask you
if it might yet be the right time that never came

so you saw her from across the room
you noticed how she leaned back with all her weight, looking real good and
you thought this was someone you'd have to
get to know soon

so what happens now?

there was a short time where you never slept alone
and dreams were never needed 'cause you thought they'd found a home and
you thought maybe well just for tonight, I could change her mind
she drew a picture with exactly the same story
it's almost as though you'd never sorted out an ending
but here it goes again after
wasted waiting, tomorrow she will leave

then what happens now?

like a blurry revelation, lines you'd never noticed in the sky
withholding love in hesitation, like you'd run in fear
without a pause to question why
she laid out an invitation
into your own imagination
a coloring book left open for everyone else's interpretation
you lived hazy days in paisley ways
recurring visions burning
empty pages filled so easily
by all your wondrous yearning
and you want to scream,
"change these days, lady!
We could all change our ways, baby!"
but she's gonna go anyway...
