For Agnes

[Verse 1]

Tonight, I’m having trouble making notes

Pushing the cool, dusty oxygen around my room and back into my throat

Oh, it’s because these lines have occupied my time

Painting pale white cheeks in greys, hanging above your brow

The perfect portrait of how I remember you now

[Chorus]

So, I’ll say it out loud

When the smoke clears, our New Year will sound

Amidst the memories you left around

[Verse 2]

So it’s TV, some coffee and cream

A tendency towards nicotine and anecdotes which fray at the seams

And we’re left discussing the outcomes of what this means

[Chorus]

I’m thinking out loud

When the smoke clears, our New Year will sound

If I described this to the younger you, you would be proud

Amidst the memories you’ve left around

We’re amidst the memories you’ve left around

Amidst the memories you’ve left around

[Verse 3 - Outro]

So tonight, I’m packing light and driving home

I promise not to speed for you and me, I’ve still got a lot to get done

And I’ll try to be a better me

I know it’s a simple kind of tribute, but it’s the way you would’ve wanted it to be

A simple kind of tribute, but the way you would’ve wanted

A simple kind of tribute, but the way you would’ve wanted

A simple kind of tribute, but the way you would’ve wanted it to be
