Lyrics
Was barely there in time
Arrived just in time, almost late
A change of clothes in the suitcase
Carrying a change of clothes in a suitcase
At least I saw you see me as the door closed
Witnessed by you as the door closed
Now the sky starts to swerve
The sky begins to move or change
And the shepherd of my nightmares
A representation of fear in the form of a shepherd in nightmares
Assembles himself just outside the window
The fearful figure assembles outside the window
Your old leather chair
Referring to a cherished piece of furniture, possibly symbolizing memories
Nobody dares sit there
No one dares to sit in the old chair, out of respect for the deceased
Scared they might disturb your ghost at rest
Fearful of disturbing the spirit at peace
And the benefit of the doubt
Rethinking the benefit of giving someone the benefit of the doubt
Doesn't seem so noble now
The noble act of giving the benefit of the doubt seems less significant now
With me in this empty house
Feeling alone in an empty house
I had barely been asleep
Had just fallen asleep
I dreamed that you dropped your suitcase
Dreamed of someone changing their living situation
As if you simply changed the place you live now
Expressing anger more than the longing for the person
More angry than I miss you
Losing control over actions and words
And I can't control all my movements
Repeating mistakes and saying regretful things
I keep saying things that I know I'll never live down
Reflecting on the joy of seeing someone smile despite personal struggles
But it's so nice to see
Appreciating the positive side despite personal challenges
How every time you're smiling
Despite challenges, the person always seems to smile
Though I can't ever seem to show my best
Struggling to show the best side of oneself
You were taller than all my doubts
Acknowledging the person's stature, both physically and emotionally
You were wrong, but damn I'm proud
Accepting imperfections with pride
How we filled out this empty house
Building a life together in an empty house
But you wanted to say you'd passed their test
Expressing a desire to prove oneself to those who doubted
For the people who let you down
Acknowledging disappointments from others
To say you were a good man
Asserting one's character as a good person despite letdowns
