Story Behind the Song
This is a song about death and regret. It specifically addresses the feelings of a man after the loss of his emotionally distant father. Not from the perspective of missing him, but of missing the relationship they could have had if only they had tried.
Lyrics
Feeling strong emotion
As if we're gonna find the only reason, gonna find the only way.
I shoulda gone, coulda gone late.
You're really gone,
A reasonable fate.
Sending all the flowers for the time I could not take.
Stealing all commotion
Indications all reveal, but for a moment I hesitate,
The enmity, the hateful words we'd say.
But I see the moment of fate.
Seein' all the heartache and the sin the heart will take.
And all these faces are only ours to borrow.
And all these places are only ours to find.
Leavin' tender lessons
About the value understated of the simple words to say.
I coulda said, coulda said something,
But I laughed and left with nothing.
Sending all my love when there's nothing left to say.
A cold, hard winter's coming
Without the touch, without the feel in my memory of your embrace.
Well, I can see, can almost see your face
With a smile of love in it's place,
But without a solid piece of truth,
It leaves a bitter taste.
And all these faces are only ours to borrow.
And all these places are only ours to find.
And all these faces, we'll see you there tomorrow.
In those places we'll only find in time.
