Left too soon

I wanted the closing track on Into the Blue to be a celebration of someone I love & admire. I regard them in my heart for lots of different reason, but this track touches on one quality in particular that is beautiful to me, the ability to still love life in the face of intense grief. You choose to be grateful every day even when times are tough. You choose kindness & understanding even when people are shitty. You make me harness the moment & cherish it before it's gone. 

You close your eyes, now will soon be long ago

but not before you close your eyes

will anything be lost to time.

You treat it all like it won't come again

You know what it means to leave too soon

You're not the past and these streets unexplored

I get a chill I think I've met you before

You see every sunrise and sunset a message

Close my eyes I know nothing is setting

You know how it feels to leave too soon

Just hold onto me as the changes roll through

Stop when you know that it's hurting you

Stop when your hope is lost for words

Tell yourself you know they're not feeling you

Stop when you wake up lost.

You treat it all like it won't come again

You know what it means to brave the cold

Oh I look across and these thoughts I've ignored

They keep us warm but don't sleep anymore

I'm learning to see it all new again

You know what it means to leave too soon

I caught myself waking up

I get a chill I think I've met you before

Stop when you know that it's hurting you

Hope when your hope is lost for words

Oh stop where it goes

grow with me across my thoughts

You see it all like it won't come again

You see it all like it doesn't end.

Left too soon.
