Funeral Hymn 4 by The Small Calamities Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I read the note you left behind a hundred times or more
The way you took the time to dot your ‘I’s with hearts—it's hard to break the habit
Yeah, I mean, I still begin to send you things but all the silence that we grew means nothing feels too different without...
[PreChorus 1]
But how was it supposed to feel to wake up knowing there's no way to fix the promises we broke?
And how does this ever heal?
[Chorus 1]
All these temporary things that we thought would make the cut
I was waiting for those winter words to thaw to something new
And I would have drove back down if I thought we'd make it up
When I was waiting for our summer songs to slow to something blue
[Verse 2]
I tried to put it all behind me but I'm not that strong
The way your frown is permanently fixed like cynical reminders of that last goodbye
I sat inside my car and waited for direction or a sign but I never got anywhere, oh
[PreChorus 2]
But how were we supposed to be?
To end up dreaming of the Hollywood solution to it all
But what does that even mean?
[Chorus 2]
All these temporary things that we thought would make the cut
I was waiting for those winter words to thaw to something new
And I would have drove back down if I thought we'd make it up
When I was waiting, I was waiting, I was waiting for you
When I was waiting, I was waiting, I was waiting for you
When I was waiting, I was waiting, I was waiting
[End Tag]
I read the note you left behind a hundred times or more
I read the note you left behind a hundred times or more
The way you took the time to dot your ‘I’s with hearts—it's hard to break the habit
Yeah, I mean, I still begin to send you things but all the silence that we grew means nothing feels too different without...
[PreChorus 1]
But how was it supposed to feel to wake up knowing there's no way to fix the promises we broke?
And how does this ever heal?
[Chorus 1]
All these temporary things that we thought would make the cut
I was waiting for those winter words to thaw to something new
And I would have drove back down if I thought we'd make it up
When I was waiting for our summer songs to slow to something blue
[Verse 2]
I tried to put it all behind me but I'm not that strong
The way your frown is permanently fixed like cynical reminders of that last goodbye
I sat inside my car and waited for direction or a sign but I never got anywhere, oh
[PreChorus 2]
But how were we supposed to be?
To end up dreaming of the Hollywood solution to it all
But what does that even mean?
[Chorus 2]
All these temporary things that we thought would make the cut
I was waiting for those winter words to thaw to something new
And I would have drove back down if I thought we'd make it up
When I was waiting, I was waiting, I was waiting for you
When I was waiting, I was waiting, I was waiting for you
When I was waiting, I was waiting, I was waiting
