Everything Goes On

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

Well, you were staring at the window

And I said, "I wanna take you to the sea

And when I'm better, we'll do everything"

I gotta stop makin' promises I can't keep

[Pre-Chorus]

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:

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

And I'm so scared of getting used to this

All the vines that keep you tethered in your room

Well, someday both of us are leaving here

But for now, I'll just bring the sea to you, oh-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Will you meet me in the daylight like we did before?

Then, I felt you on my shoulder, and you weren't suffering anymore

You said, "I'm sorry that you worried," but don't apologize

I told you to forget me, but you stayed by my side when I said:

[Chorus]

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, oh, oh-oh

Everything goes on
