Lyrics

Someone Great

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wish that we could talk about it

But there, that's the problem

With someone new I could have started

Too late for beginnings

The little things that made me nervous

Are gone in a moment

I miss the way we used to argue

Locked, in your basement

I wake up and the phone is ringing

Surprised, as it's early

And that should be a perfect warning

That something's a problem

To tell the truth I saw it coming

The way you were breathing

But nothing can prepare you for it

The voice on the other end

The worst is all the lovely weather

I'm stunned it's not raining

The coffee isn't even bitter

Because what's the difference?

There's all the work that needs to be done

It's late for revision

There's all the time and all the planning

And songs to be finished

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

'Til the day it stops

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

'Til the day it stops

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

And it keeps coming

'Til the day it stops

I wish that we could talk about it

But there, that's the problem

With someone new I could have started

Too late for beginnings

You're smaller than my wife imagined

Surprised you were human

There shouldn't be this ring of silence

But what are the options?

When someone great is gone

When someone great is gone

When someone great is gone

When someone great is gone

When someone great is gone

When someone great is gone

When someone great is gone

When someone great is gone

We're safe, for the moment

Saved

For the moment
