about

this song is about facing the end.

lyrics

Maybe I’ll sleep tonight
Maybe everything’s all right

Here we are again
With the silence that comes at the end
I’ll admit that I still miss you
I’ll admit this is nothing new

All these bodies and their ghosts
The moon in her void, come to take us home

This is nothing new
Yeah, this is really nothing new

And then the rain came down and flooded everything you could see
We stepped out and splashed in the puddles
And watched the sun shine through the leaves
Until the clouds parted and the sun set on our final days
You could see the moon hanging in the sky
It really was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
But maybe it just a reflection of me, of me
Yeah, well, we thought we were invincible
But we were only kids, you know
We could only see so far into the future
We thought we could live forever
But that was just a childhood dream
Yeah, but now that I’ve spent so many nights
Choked by the fear that I will die
I can see now that nothing I will ever do can save me

This is nothing new
So just tell me “I love you”
Will you hold my hand
Until the very end?

I want to watch sunsets in color
So I can dream about them in black and white
Birth is trauma and transition is abandonment
And nothing will ever be right
So just tell me that you love me
Call me by my name like it’s a dirty secret resting upon your lips
So just tell me that you love me
So I can learn to sleep again
Just tell me that you love me
So I will never fear again
‘Cause someday I will die
And I will make peace with that
