Lyrics
Take me with you to the cemetery
Expresses a desire to be taken to the cemetery.
Bury me with all your favorite things
Wants to be buried with the person's favorite possessions.
Leave a note or maybe two
Suggests leaving notes acknowledging the relationship.
And write in it that you were proud of me
Requests a note expressing pride in the speaker.
Sit and tell me all your favorite dreams
Asks the person to share their dreams with the speaker.
How I'm missing out all the things
Feels like missing out on shared experiences.
That we talked about together
Reflects on unfulfilled shared aspirations.
Leave me with your favourite flowers
Desires to be surrounded by favorite flowers in the afterlife.
Take me to the cemetery
Repeats the desire to be taken to the cemetery.
Bury me with all your favorite things
Reiterates the wish to be buried with cherished items.
Tell everyone that you loved me so much
Wants others to know about the love received.
You wish you could have stopped it from
Expresses regret about the inability to prevent something.
Happening but now it's way too late
Notes the irreversibility of a past event.
Show everyone all our messages
Encourages sharing of messages between the speaker and the person.
How I checked on you
Highlights the speaker's concern for the person.
But you never asked if I was finding things okay
Notes a lack of reciprocity in checking on the speaker.
You'll never realize what you didn't do
Anticipates the person's realization of missed opportunities.
Won't even know this verse is about you
Expects the person to be unaware that the song refers to them.
It would just fly right over your head
Suggests the person's potential obliviousness to the message.
I can't force people to care for me
Acknowledges the inability to compel others to care.
Maybe I'm just selfish for wanting
Questions whether wanting acknowledgment is selfish.
To hear the things I tell everyone
Expresses a desire for the person to listen to the speaker.
Take me to the cemetery
Repeats the request to be taken to the cemetery.
Bury me with all your favorite things
Restates the desire to be buried with cherished possessions.
Take me to the cemetery
Reiterates the plea to be taken to the cemetery.
Tell me about your favourite dream
Asks the person to share their favorite dreams.
Take me with you to the cemetery
Echoes the desire to go to the cemetery with the person.
Use me to let out your agony
Suggests using the speaker's memory to find emotional release.
I'll go back to turning into dust
Acceptance of mortality and returning to dust.
None of it led up to anything
Reflection on life events leading to no significant outcome.
Don't talk into space as if I'll hear
Advises against speaking to the departed as if they can hear.
Move on and live how you have been dear
Encourages the person to move on and continue living.
I don't care at all I promise
Expresses indifference to the person's future actions.
I'll fade into pretty nebulas
Acceptance of fading away like beautiful nebulas.
