the death of something - jeremy james whitaker lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
thought i’d let the flowers bloom for
a little while, a little while
thought i’d let the flowers bloom for
a little while, a little while
thought i’d let the flowers bloom for
a little while, a little while
thought i’d let the flowers bloom for
a little while, a little while

[verse 1]
i asked the silence to remind me
why every goodbye always still unwinds me
now i think that maybe that’s how it supposed to be
healing that hurts you, but still sets you free

[chorus]
if dying means blooming
i’ll stay in the ground a little longer

[verse 2]
there’s been dirt under my nails long as i remember
like i’ve been burying something that i cannot name
the calendar turns, but the silence, it lingers
and i’m learning how loss and becoming are the same
[pre*chorus]
if i lay here, lay here
lay here a little longer
if i lay here, lay here
lay here a little longer

[chorus]
if dying means blooming
i’ll stay in the ground a little longer

[bridge]
if dying means blooming
i’ll stay in the ground a little longer
(a little longer now, a little longer now)
(a little longer now, a little longer now)
if dying means blooming
i’ll stay in the ground a little longer

[instrumental break]
(a little longer now, a little longer now)
(a little longer now, a little longer now)

[spoken word]
“and i think that a lot of people don’t even realize that the thing they need is a funeral”

[verse 3]
and i think he’s watching the turning of the years
the fade, the blooming, the laughter, all the tears
nothing’s wasted, not even a fall
he’s been in the dying and he’s holding it all
underneath me
[chorus]
and if dying means blooming
i’ll stay in the ground

[drop]
if dying means blooming
i’ll stay in the ground
if dying means blooming
i’ll stay in the ground

[outro]
underneath me
underneath me
what once was dying
the soil for something green
and the pieces i buried last year
are starting to breathe
(if dying means blooming)
(i’ll stay in the ground a little longer)
