I'll Try and Think of You
Contemplating Life's Fragility
Lyrics
A sunny day in spring
A pleasant day in spring
A coffee on the porch to start the afternoon
Enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch to begin the afternoon
Where life is slow and boredom always looms
Describing a slow-paced life where boredom is a constant presence
And this will be the same
Predicting that life will remain the same
Until his heart decides that it's attacking him
Until a sudden emotional upheaval occurs
The cars collide the glass is blowing in
Depicting a car collision with shattered glass
The neighbors gather round
Neighbors gathering after the accident
To listen to the way your breathing sounds so bad
Noting the unsettling sound of breathing, possibly indicating injury
They wonder if they'll hear you breathe your last
Speculating on the possibility of witnessing a tragic event
A lawn they need to mow
Reference to an unkempt lawn, possibly neglected due to the accident
It took them from the show they'll never get to view
Interrupted plans to watch a show due to the accident
I guess it's all because of you
Suggesting a connection between the accident and the person mentioned
When you're floating far away
Imagining the person floating far away, possibly in a state of distress
They're filing important things
Others dealing with paperwork and responsibilities while the person is absent
When your body is in the ground
Discussing the inevitability of death and burial
They'll feel the weight of troubled days
Anticipating the emotional weight felt by others after the person's demise
An interruption plainly
Referring to the accident as an interruption in their lives
Their minds return to what they knew
Returning to familiar thoughts amidst the chaos
I'll try and think of you
Expressing a commitment to remember the person despite the chaos
The problem in the yard
Describing a problem in the yard, possibly related to the accident
They tell the paramedics what a crazy day
Sharing the chaotic events with paramedics
We heard the crash and called you right way
Recalling the immediate response to the crash
The shells look so absurd
Describing the absurd appearance of the shells or remnants from the accident
The wreckage of their daily drivers in a mess
Depicting the wreckage of daily drivers in disarray
Oh well it could be worse they guess
Reflecting on the situation, acknowledging it could be worse
When you're floating far away
Repeating the image of the person floating far away
They're filing important things
Reiterating the paperwork and responsibilities during the person's absence
When your body is in the ground
Repeating the inevitability of the body being in the ground
They'll feel the weight of troubled days
Reiterating the emotional weight on others after the person's death
An interruption plainly
Repeating the accident as an interruption in their lives
Their minds return to what they knew
Repeating the return of their minds to familiar thoughts
I'll try and think of you
Reaffirming the commitment to remember the person despite the chaos
