Sometimes I find myself in a crowded room
With good friends and a feeling this will end to soon
Somethings just end to soon
I watch you fall asleep and never wake up
Don’t take these memories or the people I love
Cause my god, we might not have much longer
We might not have much longer
No, I’m not angry
No, I’m not upset
All I’m saying is you tend to forget
How good you’ve got it, damn you’ve got it good
And you should
Cause no one deserves this
Right now, though things could be better it
Is a reminder that nothing here is permanent
We’re dead or dying and I guess we’ll never figure it out
Dead or dying
At least I’m trying
So hard not to dwell on the past
Breathe in every goodbye and try to make the memory last
Petrichor
Reminds me of when I was younger
There are two dates under your name
And life’s the dash that’s in between
And all the flowers that surround you
Will never bring back anything
But now and then
Well I still miss you on the drive home
And still get anxious when I’m all alone
Faced with a feeling that I’ll never know, where you go
Right now, though things could be better it
Is a reminder that nothing here is permanent
We’re dead or dying and I guess we’ll never figure it out
Dead or dying
At least I’m trying
So hard not to dwell on the past
Breathe in every goodbye and try to make the memory last
Petrichor
Reminds me of when I was younger

Spent

If this is all you really need
Some time and space away from me
I think I’d understand
We’re caving in
Every mention of your name to me
It’s something that I never really planned
A sort of
Yeah, I’m sorry that I fucked up
I don’t except you to understand
All the thoughts I’ve been ignoring
Every single bridge I’ve burned
I know, you wanted things to be easy
But this love
Is
never going to be easy
I hear your voice from down the hall
A late night spent with alcohol
Twenty-two just fell right through the floor
Your guarantees are not for sure
Be another year behind closed doors
Rest assured I’m weak from words I meant
And I said please, would you please just stop
Or better yet (or better yet)
Pretend to listen (pretend to listen)
Yeah I said
STOP
Just shut the fuck up
I’m done with everything we used to be
I bet you think that I don’t even notice
I miss that sound
I hear your voice from down the hall
A late night spent with alcohol
Twenty-two just fell right through the floor
Your guarantees are not for sure
Be another year behind closed doors
Rest assured I’m weak from words I meant
I meant
I’m trying my best not to let all of this bother me
Almost every mess starts with perfect uncertainty
I’m trying my best not to let all of this bother
me
A late night spent with alcohol
I’m trying my best not to let all of this bother me
Almost every mess starts with perfect uncertainty
I’m trying my best not to let all of this bother
me
I hear your voice from down the hall
A late night spent with alcohol
Your guarantees are not for sure
Be another year behind closed doors
Rest assured I’m weak from words I meant

Letters Home

I still think about you all the time
Missing conversation
While I’
m far from home
I’ll still call you often
Just to let you know
That every breath I’m taking
It is worth these words
I can’t be complacent
I’m just so unsure
I miss our shadows in the streetlights
And how the flowers used to bloom
I miss the sweet embrace of spring nights
Through the windows of my youth
I still think about you all the time
Sending letters home just to let you know I’m alright
I always felt it was a waste of life
To grow old and wither
I know things get better in time
Just a memory
A memory close to me
I’m just a memory
In a home, I remember dearly
There are days in which my life feels so colourless
Feel like I’m walking by myself in the dark
And even then, I know
You’re right there waiting for me
So closely
I still got every word you said swimming in my head
Swimming in
Don’t you wait up for me all night
You always worried the worst you said
As you lay in bed, yeah I said
Don’t you wait up for me all night
I still think about you all the time
Sending letters home just to let you know I’m alright
I always felt it was a waste of life
To grow old and wither
I know things get better in time
Just a memory
A memory close to me
I’m just a memory
In a home, I remember
A home I remember
I’m Just a memory
A memory close to me
I’m just a memory
In a home, I remember dearly
I still think about you all the time
I think about you, I think about you
I still think about you all the time
I think about you, I think about you

I went to see you at the hospital
Found you laying in your room
I stood by your bedside every night
Did my best to comfort you
It’s the morphine and the painkillers
That left you tired and confused
They said the cancer wasn’t curable
They said there’s nothing they could
do
(What is happening)
I don’t believe a word they say
(What is happening)
I couldn’t watch you fade away
All I’m saying is the ending scares me every time
Your words replaying over and over I save them in my mind
Now I’m grabbing a hold
Of what’s about to unfold
I’m walking hospital halls now that you’re gone
All I’m saying
Is
I still call your answering machine
I know I’ve been busy now the last little while
I’ve got a small apartment in Ottawa
I’ve got this girl with a beautiful smile
I got dreams, I needs,
I got things I believe that I just cannot let go
I still think about you every single day
I still miss that old North Hansen home
Sometimes just wanna go home
All I’m
saying is the ending scares me every time
Your words replaying over and over I save them in my mind
Now I’m grabbing a hold
Of what’s about to unfold
I’m walking hospital halls now that you’re gone
All I’m saying
Is
I still call your answering machine
I’m so scared
I’m trembling
Your words worth, remembering
I’m so scared
I’m trembling
Your words worth, remembering

Smile,
As if the whole world came to see you
Try as I might,
I’ll never understand just what you’ve been through
Time, will carry you home while leaving me to find
Leaving me to find pieces of a life you’ve left behind
Caught myself shaking on the floor
Unsure of the thoughts I can’t ignore
No please, don’t leave
They’re still so much for you to see here
Feel as of late I’m making progress
Tell myself to listen more and maybe talk less
And keep in mind that every life is just a process
Take it in stride
Take it in stride
Maybe small steps?
What is loss to you
What is loss to you my friend
(Second guessing how you’re leaving)
What is loss to you
(I find it harder now to breath in)
Caught myself shaking on the floor
Unsure of the thoughts I can’t ignore
No please, don’t leave
They’re still so much for you to see here
I am questioning most everything I have
Just know, that I’ll be alright
Though our lives can seem so makeshift
And though the rope can feel so frayed
I’ll remember every word you said
Like it was only yesterday
(I am so scared without you here)
(I am so scared without you here)
