about

You know that feeling when bittersweet memories of someone from your past comes rushing back? Even though you it was so long ago, and you thought for sure you had packed up all of those feelings and tossed them in the dumpster, here they are again.

This song is about accepting that these feelings will always be there and that, ultimately, that is just fine.

lyrics

It feels like 500 years have passed since I have last
Settled down upon your shore
Laid eyes upon your face in the morning

In the morning light

But may moons and many miles
Many truths, many lies
Are between those days and I
Between your eyes and mine.

But ain't it funny how when you're lookin down
From that higher vantage point
Odds insurmountable seem merely trivial
With the benefit of hindsight

And everything's so very clear
In the morning
In the morning light, my dear

That will always be a part of the shape of things
A part of the way it stings now when I hear your name
And if I thought that I had packed it all away
And thrown it out
Well I was wrong, but that's okay.
