Lyrics
He counted up his fears one day and they weren't worth a dime
He reflected on his fears and realized they were insignificant.
He cried a lot of tears for her 'cause he wasn't worth her time
He shed tears over a relationship where he felt unworthy of her time.
And his life felt like a marathon - man, how long can this last?
His life seemed endless and exhausting like a marathon.
He slowed down for a little drink and didn't see the winner pass
He paused for a drink, missing opportunities, including success.
Last Saturday morning we missed the warning
Last Saturday morning brought a warning that went unnoticed.
The pain got boring - his soul went soaring
The pain became monotonous, leading to a spiritual departure.
She used to be too young to understand and now she's just too old
She transitioned from youthful ignorance to the burden of understanding.
Can't shut the door on her regrets - she'll never be that cold
She cannot escape her regrets, preserving her emotional warmth.
And I could have been a better friend - I can see where I went wrong
Reflecting on past mistakes, acknowledging the potential for better friendship.
I hid beneath my selfishness like I hide behind this song
He concealed himself in selfishness, paralleled by hiding behind the song.
Last Saturday morning we missed the warning
Reiteration of the warning from last Saturday morning.
Nothing lasts forever 'cept maybe jesus christ
An acknowledgment that only Jesus Christ might endure eternally.
And nothing could be sadder than a child taking his own life
Expressing the profound sadness of a child taking their own life.
I heard the minister mumble, I heard the falling rain
Observing a minister's mumbling and the poignant sound of falling rain.
And I felt my mother's hand slip into mine
A moment of intimacy with the narrator's mother during a difficult time.
And none of us have ever been the same
An experience shared among individuals, forever altering them.
