From the recording Whaddaya Say
Longer is about the struggle to heal after the death of a parent. The pain never really goes away, but you manage to keep going anyway. A profound moment for us was when we realized our father's had been gone longer then we knew them.
Lyrics
1st Verse:
The other day I went to your grave
Visit for a while
I Knelt down, touched the cold stone
And Faced the words with my hands
And Now I wonder, what would life be like,
If you had been here?
I guess it's been alright…
2nd verse:
Blank stare, behind a fake smile
Can't Stumble from the strain
Bury the truth deep in myself
I'm just numb from the pain
And now I wonder, what would life be like,
If you had been here?
I guess it's been alright…
Chorus:
All this time
I'll never ever be the same.
All these years
Without you here
Alone...
And I'll remember as though it were yesterday.
Time has failed to heal
The wounds Remain
Bridge:
You've been gone
Longer than I knew you
End 2nd backup
As though it were yesterday
As though it were yesterday
But I’m gonna be alright
End 2nd backup idea #2
As though it were yesterday
But I'm gonna be alright
Longer than I knew you
