As I lay against your body/that will one day let you down.

3 years ago today, my grandfather passed away. I would have never expected how much I actually think about him, now that he is gone. The smallest things remind me of him: a dollar bill, an airplane passing overhead, the smell of wood. He truly was an amazing man and I regret everyday that I was neglected the opportunity to get to know him and that I never realized the true value of getting to know him. Now that he is gone, I cherish every memory, every connection I have to that man.


Today you were far away,
and I didn't ask you why.
What could I say?
I was far away.
You just walked away,
and I just watched you.
What could I say?

How close am I to losing you?

Tonight you just close your eyes,
and I just watch you
slip away.

How close am I to losing you?

Hey, are you awake?
Yeah, I'm right here.
Well can I ask you about today?

How close am I to losing you?
How close am I to losing?
