  • Tell me that you know another way to get it done
    It's not me, or how I would be
    But it's a different situation
    A different situation

    You lay awake in the night
    Just staring at the ceiling above
    Pulling pieces of it out is such a waste of time
    You keep on fighting to remember
    That nothing is lost in the end
    When you burn, burn, burn your life down

    Get me to the door
    Out of bed
    On the track
    I'm not sure
    Starting over
    It's a different situation
    A different situation

    You wake up in the night
    And refuse to be afraid of the now
    Unfolding pieces of it faster
    Don't you waste your time
    You've been planning to remember this
    So nothing will be lost in the end
    Then you burn, burn, burn your life down
    Then you burn, burn, burn your life down

    I drive around the block
    And I'm not looking to my right
    I feel the glass against my cheek
    And I can't see you in the light

    I break my heart around it
    Break my heart around it
    I drive around the block
    And I'm not looking to my right
    I feel the glass against my cheek
    And I can't see you in the light
    I break my heart around this
    Break my heart around this pole Writer/s: Sara Keirsten Quin, Tegan Rain Quin

  • Valery from Orlando, Flthis song is particularly about their grandmother's death from their grandfather's point of view. for example, he talked about how he couldn't travel anymore now that she's passed, because when he looks to his side while driving, she's not there anymore. "i drive around the block and i'm not looking to my right"
  • Eva from Cincinnati, OhI thought that the song "Knife Going In" was about their grandmother's death? (idk)?
