Lyrics
Occurred to me the other day
Reflecting on a recent realization
You been gone now a couple years
Acknowledging the absence for a couple of years
Well I guess it takes a while
Expressing that it takes time for someone to truly be forgotten
For someone to really disappear
Contemplating the process of disappearance
And I remember where I was
Recalling the moment when news about the person's departure was received
When the word came about you
Describing the circumstances surrounding the news
It was a day much like today
Setting the scene of a particular day
The sky was bright and wide and blue
Depicting the weather and atmosphere of that day
And I wonder where you are
Pondering the current whereabouts of the departed person
And if the pains ends when you die
Questioning whether the pain ceases after death
And I wonder if there was
Contemplating if there could have been a better way to say farewell
Some better way to say good-bye
Expressing uncertainty about the adequacy of the goodbye
Today my heart is big and sore
Describing the current emotional state as significant and painful
It's trying to put right through my skin
Metaphorically conveying the intensity of emotional pain
Won't see you anymore
Realizing the finality of not seeing the person anymore
I guess that's finally sinking in
Acknowledging the slow acceptance of the reality
'Cause you can't make somebody see
Asserting the inability to make others recognize inherent beauty
With the simple words you say
Highlighting the limitations of simple words in conveying beauty
All their beauty from within
Expressing frustration when others choose to ignore beauty
Sometimes they just look away
Observing the tendency of some to look away from inner beauty
And I wonder where you are
Repeating the contemplation of the departed person's whereabouts
And if the pains ends when you die
Reiterating the question about the end of pain after death
And I wonder if there was
Repeating the contemplation of a possible better way to say goodbye
Some better way to say good-bye
Expressing a lingering uncertainty about the farewell process
