Everything Goes On

Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told

Well, you were staring at the window
And I said, "I'll just bring this sea to you"

But if I was gone tomorrow,
Won't the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I'm happy
As we pass the setting sun?
Someday I'll be overcast, but you won't have to cry
'Cause we'll do the grieving while I'm by your side
I said

Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone
Everything goes on

And I'm so scared of getting used to this
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room

You said, "I'm sorry that you worry,
But don't apologize"
I told you to forget me, but you stayed by my side
When I said

Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
And when we're gone, ah
Everything goes on
