Story behind the song
It's about saying good-bye to someone who is still physically here.
Lyrics
verse
I miss the pleasure of routines
Like coffee in the morning.
You're set off by the smallest things.
It happens without warning.
chorus
I never got to say good-bye
To the lover that I knew.
At night I lay me down to cry
Next to what's left of you.
verse
I hide your keys so you don't drive,
Make sure you have your phone.
Don't like to let you out of sight,
Will you find your way home?
chorus
verse
You used to fix the broken stuff,
A car or a heart.
Now I don't seem to have your touch.
I don't know where to start.
chorus
