lyrics

She said: The data side of the CD that he burned for me
Was all scratched up, you know he was always hard on his things
When it used to skip inside the changer, I’d roll my eyes
Now those little clicks just make me feel like I’m listening with him

Eighty minutes, nearly to the second
Filled it up with songs he later told me were chosen to impress
Listened as we circled all the suburbs we grew up in
Silently admitting I knew I’d always love him

Hesitation stole her voice, her eyes fell to the floor
When she was ready, she told me a little more

The only thing I ever learned from death
Is say it all while you’ve got the chance
Or wake up each day hoping that they probably got the gist
I’m going through some shit
I guess that’s obvious
I’m not even sure why I’m telling you all this

The sound of raindrops on the A/C unit hanging out the window
Actually helped me sleep last night
Because the absence on his side was too apparent to deny
Yeah, that cliched image from all the pop songs is totally true

And the full moon stared me down like a spotlight
With beams that ricocheted into my hindsight
Dreamed something vivid, tried not to forget it, scribbling half asleep
In the morning I tried to guess at what it means

Trepidation on her face, pretending to check the score
When she was ready, she told me a little more

The only thing I ever learned from death
Is motivation from regret
‘Cause the only thing that keeps me moving forward is the fear of looking back
Yeah, I’m scared
I guess that’s obvious
I’m not even sure why I’m telling you all this

I’ve been laughing
Waiting for time to make a callus from this bruise
Yeah, I’ve been laughing
Hope it’s loud enough to cover up the truth
‘Cause I still can’t bring myself to take his number out of my phone
Half the time I have to stop myself from calling
So I’ll keep laughing
At this point I don’t know else I can do

The only thing I ever learned from death
Is no one gets a second chance
Every day this week I’ve wondered if he knew that he’d be missed
I’m not over it
I’ll never get over it, I’m not even sure why I’m telling you all this
