Hard synthrock song about allowing yourself grace while dealing with aging family members, with a message about loss and acceptance.
lyrics
That old feeling’s creeping in
It’s getting under my skin
I try to shake it off
It comes back again and again and again
And I know you won’t last long
You could never be that strong
But you’re the first and the last place
That I felt I belonged
I don’t feel bad
You’ve always been like that
It’ll all be okay
It can’t be any other way
And when it’s all said and done
Didn’t we have fun?
Before it all slipped away
It can’t be any other way
Haunted by the memory
Of his ghostly legacy
But you gotta move past
‘Cause I still remember he
Promised me
Wherever we
Ended up next time
Hand in hand in the knotty pine
He promised that he wouldn’t cry
But I didn’t promise that, now did I?
I don’t feel bad
You’ve always been like that
It’ll all be okay
It can’t be any other way
And when it’s all said and done
Didn’t we have fun?
Before it all slipped away
It can’t be any other way
One life to live
Not gonna spend it like this
I’ve learned my lesson
Class dismissed!
I don’t feel bad
You’ve always been like that
It’ll all be okay
It can’t be any other way
And when it’s all said and done
Didn’t we have fun?
Before it all slipped away
It can’t be any other way
