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
