Lyrics
Except there's something in the air
There's an intangible presence or feeling in the atmosphere.
There's something still there
That presence or feeling persists.
Something at the scene of the crime
There's something significant at the location where a wrongdoing occurred.
Except the artists, the dreamers
Everyone except the artists and dreamers, who are characterized as forgetful and naive.
Forgetful and naive
These artists and dreamers tend to forget easily and possess innocence.
They all seem to find
Despite their nature, they manage to discover something.
That they choose to forgive
They consciously decide to forgive.
They choose to stay
They opt to remain present.
They choose to miss who's gone
They choose not to forget the departed.
And they were the ones
The individuals mentioned earlier.
Who knew you
They had a connection with you.
And they were the ones
Those same individuals.
Who loved you
They held affection for you.
If I went away
If I departed,
I wouldn't stay gone
I wouldn't stay absent for long.
I choose not to stay gone
I consciously choose not to remain gone.
I'm truly scared
I am genuinely frightened
Of what I'll do
Concerning my future actions.
Of what I'll do next
I am anxious about what I might do next.
And I will remain
I will persist,
If I choose to remain
Only if I consciously choose to persist.
If I choose to stay
If I choose to stay present.

Forgetful and naive

With good memories and streamers

They'll all wait for you

Your absence will be felt.
Simply put
Simply stated,

I will persist and remain myself,
I am who I'm meant to be

I am who I'm meant to be
I will remain true to myself.
