Story behind the song
Alex randomly tossed this set of lyrics in with a chord progression from Ben. They worked out beautifully.
Lyrics
Tom remembered the world
It seemed like it was laughing
But he was out on the joke
Tom’s thought he knew how to float
But he almost fell in the water
And the thought made him choke
Tom
Had a million reasons to be
But he couldn't see them so he stopped
Tom
You looked so much like me
What could have kept you from reaching the top?
Tom worked out all the math
Subtracting one was no problem
There was just one step to take
Tom was already a ghost
Just needed the confirmation
So he ended a phantom ache
I remembered the world
It seemed like it was crying
Crying for what it had lost
