	Story Behind the Song Recording this song took 2 nights. The solo was actually improvised as it was being recorded. Actually, all of Ben's parts were recorded in one night... Rob's [Darke] vocals were what took longer... Lyrics I tied my hair back so you'll recognize me I know you're holding on to say goodbye You ask us to celebrate your life, and we will I know you're strong, holding on But don't you shed a tear for me I still remember your laughter And the things you would say And from here, ever after, it'll be okay Where shall you lie? And she said... "on top of the world" Where shall you lie? And she said... "on top of the world" We made it on time And now you should leave It's time for new beginnings Although it feels like the end For me, for you, for all... Still photography, cigarettes, and coffee Remind me of you... I still remember your laughter And all the things you would say... And from here, ever after It'll be okay... Lyrics by Ben Mecham (C) 1999
