Lyrics
It seems like you've been thinking about mortality, she said
What else is new? But I guess it's true
I'm full of grief
It feels like so many friends are leaving
Or already gone, and we move on
Through icy streets
I wanted to sing you "Skyway" but I didn't have the time
So I just wrote you a note to say what I had to say
And I thought that maybe I could record the song tomorrow
But in the morning I saw it was too late
I saw that profile picture change and I couldn't catch my breath
And it keeps suggesting I should invite you to my shows
I keep on feeling like I don't have the right to grieve your death
But sorrow sneaks up on me, and that's just how it goes
I wanted to sing you "Skyway" but I didn't have the time
So I just wrote you a note to say what I had to say
And I thought that maybe I could record the song tomorrow
But in the morning I saw it was too late
I picked up my guitar the night before you died
Capo 3, in the key of F
But I thought that maybe I should try it on piano
And I just dicked around till there was no time left
Wish I could have sung you anything, anything at all
Wish I'd finished our collab but I dropped the ball
I miss you and your kindness and the songs you used to write
I hope you're sleeping well, my friend, goodnight
