Changes

This song ate at me for a couple of weeks before I finally found the inspiration to finish it, and I'm still not too sure where that inspiration came from. Either way, it came to me and I finished the 20th draft and final song of All These Lost Pictures, but more on finishing the project later. This song is really just dealing about loss; that journey towards a moment of transcendence and finally being okay with everything. Big ups, personally, to one of my favourite movies of all time, Bridge to Terabithia, my old friend Megan, who I lost "just when things got interesting" back in 2006, and everybody else I've personally lost over the years. This one's for you guys.

(Otherwise known as Life Without The "F")

The night went quiet
Five seconds ago.
She was buried under this life
And six feet of snow;
She was right, and she was just;
She was young, just like us.
So why did the day come
And break her away?

There's a fire somewhere,
Burn it down, burn it down.
I can feel the light shifting in me.
What can I say?
I miss you, I miss you,
But now you can't hear me.

The flame went out,
Just so you know.
It was buried underwater
With an everlasting glow;
It felt right, and it seemed just;
But it was young, just like us.
So the Spring came
And washed it away.

There's a fire somewhere,
Burn it down, burn it down.
I can feel the light shifting in me.
What can I say?
I miss you, I miss you,
But now you can't hear me.

Your plane touched down
In the middle of the night.
You were buried under promises
And an ever-shifting light.
You were just, but you were lost
In New York's winter frost.
So the oceans called
And you flew away.

There's a fire somewhere,
Burn it down, burn it down.
I can feel the light shifting in me.
What can I say?
I miss you, I miss you,
But now you can't hear me.

And when it rains here,
Every word of every song I hear
Reminds me of you.
The night went quiet,
I can hear every drop,
But I'll pull through,
Yeah, I'll pull through.

There's a fire somewhere,
Burn it down, burn it down.
I can feel the light shifting in me.
What can I say?
I miss you, I miss you,
But now you can't hear me.

The night went quiet,
I can hear every drop,
But I'll pull through,
Yeah, I'll pull through.
