about

Well you don't choose your blood and it typically comes with all these built in issues that you may or may not have the tools to deal with, so you've just got to figure it out. Also, despite what the romantic poets would have had us believe, dying is not typically the most dignified of processes.

lyrics

Found out on a Saturday, fishing up at the lake that you'd passed away, finally, after three years of not knowing me.
Watched the sun sink into the water, a loving mother's only daughter, remembered the panic that gripped you through your last years.
Took a deep pull, skipped my chip across the lake: celebrate the end of the struggle for you, and for me too.
Felt the old blood come rushing back, I know that I should stay on the track but you/I never could and I always loved

Those spring nights out here
The feel of the wind through my hair
those spring nights out here
Whoa-oh-oh-a-oh

Sometimes these victories aren't so triumphant
Sometimes you give up just before the summit
Just to stay above ground for one more day.
And I've always looked just like you
but the similarities have more to do with all the ways we ran away
each of us
from all our problems.

And they teach you to accept
and I can't change a bit so I guess I'll accept
and expect to run away
and that's good enough for now.
