Here with You
Letting Go One Word at a Time: Embracing Moments Here with You
Lyrics
You don't have to let me know
You are not obligated to inform me.
You don't have to say a word
No need to express anything verbally.
I can tell by the way you speak my name down low
I can sense from the way you softly say my name.
And by the things that I have heard
I infer from the things I've learned.
From the kitchen I would listen
I used to eavesdrop from the kitchen.
Some days, in the morning
Some mornings, I overheard conversations.
The nurse would come a-calling
A nurse would visit, bringing news.
And I could make out the news
I could discern the details.
And now I know the truth
Now I understand the reality.
What's left isn't yours or mine
What remains doesn't belong to either of us.
I'm letting go one word at a time
Gradually releasing emotions one word at a time.
Sitting now, here with you
Currently, I am here with you.
I don't want to see you sad and blue
I don't want to witness your sadness.
I don't want any of it, for heaven's sake
I don't desire any of it, for the sake of heaven.
I don't want to be the one standing 'round watching
I don't want to be a bystander watching hearts break.
Hearts as they break
Can't trust your senses
Doubt in your perceptions.
Can't trust your independence
Uncertainty in your independence.
Can't trust your memories
Unreliable memories.
From what exactly are you free?
Questioning what exactly you are liberated from.
Tell me, what are you free to do?
What freedom do you truly have?
Gaze into familiar eyes
Look into familiar eyes.
Shedding tears and you don't know why
Shedding tears without understanding why.
I'm sitting now, here with you
Currently, I am sitting here with you.
Can you still remember
Can you recall the places we used to visit?
The kinds of places we would go?
Slip your fingers into mine, and we can embark on a journey.
Slip your fingers into my hand
And we can take off down the road
-Miss you so
I miss you intensely.
It ain't easy being easily prone
Being susceptible to loneliness is challenging.
To loneliness, which doesn't fade
Loneliness doesn't diminish; it grows each day.
We only get more acquainted each passing day
We become more familiar with it over time.
Only one thing left to do
Only one option remains.
Linger in a long goodbye
Prolonging a lengthy farewell.
I'm present, but I'm keeping time
Physically present but mentally measuring time.
Sitting now, here with you
Currently, I am here with you.
The cafes are closing
Cafes are shutting down.
The sky is black and blue
The sky is dark, and the streets are wide open.
The streets are wide open
The world is brand new
The world is renewed.
