Lyrics

Now that you're gone

Expressing the aftermath of someone's departure.

Nothing is wrong

Suggesting that there are no apparent issues or problems now that the person is gone.

But every thing's changed

Highlighting a significant shift or transformation despite the absence of problems.

Words in your hand

Referring to written expressions or promises left behind by the departed person.

Do I set them in stone

Pondering whether to solidify or discard the written words.

Or throw them away

Considering the permanence or disposability of the memories conveyed in the written words.

Now everything we did

Reflecting on past shared experiences, likened to dynamic photographs.

Like photographs that always moved

Describing the memories as constantly moving, adding a touch of peculiarity.

(And that wasn't strange)

Emphasizing that the perpetual motion of memories wasn't unusual.

Now they're in the can

Symbolizing the preservation of memories, possibly in a tangible form like photographs.

Let's put them on a shelf

Suggesting the idea of storing memories on a shelf, possibly indicating detachment.

Let's put them in the ground

Considering the burial of memories, implying closure and finality.

They'll never move again

Conveying the idea that once buried, memories become static and unchanging.


Ever after

Repeating the phrase "Ever after," suggesting a continuous state post the departure.

Ever after

Reiterating the ongoing nature of the post-departure state.

Ever after

Continuing the theme of a persistent condition after the person's exit.


Over and done

Indicating the completion of the relationship and associated experiences.

All of the fun

Acknowledging both the enjoyable and painful aspects of the concluded relationship.

And all of the pain

Questioning the emotional response to the concluded relationship, expressing a sense of detachment.

Why don't I laugh

Raising the question of why laughter and tears don't affect the outcome differently.

Why don't I cry

Highlighting the indifference or emotional numbness toward the concluded relationship.

It ends up all the same

Emphasizing the ultimate similarity in the emotional aftermath, regardless of laughter or tears.

Now that you're gone

Reiterating the negative impact on everything now that the person is gone.

Everything is wrong

Expressing the paradoxical situation of everything being wrong despite no apparent change.

Though nothing has changed

Contrasting the lack of change with the perceived wrongness of the current situation.

And everything we said

Recalling past conversations, possibly recorded on tape for future playback.

Is there on a tape

Highlighting the preservation of spoken words for future generations.

For the future to play

Suggesting the potential replay of past conversations by future generations.

Let's put it in the ground

Advocating for the burial of past conversations, implying closure and moving forward.

That's where it ought to stay

Affirming that the past should remain buried for the sake of moving on.


Ever after

Repeating the phrase "Ever after," reinforcing the enduring nature of the post-departure state.

Ever after

Reiterating the persistence of the ongoing condition after the person's departure.

Ever after

Continuing the theme of a lasting state beyond the conclusion of the relationship.


And it'll be all right . . .

Concluding with a hopeful tone, suggesting that everything will eventually be alright.
