Memorial Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish you had been at your memorial
Seen someone proposing on stage
I couldn't get through my song for you
When it came to saying your name

I can still see the room at the hospital
Pretty painted tile
I can still see your skin turning purple
Lily of the nile

[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Did you mean it?
Did you plan it out?
Or was it an accident?

[Verse 2]
Time, time, up and down the blue screen, it's dawn and I'm insane
Love's just a word & not what the word means but I'll say it just the same
Talking to an entity, made of endless night
I dream in TV dialogue, a world of shadow and light

[Chorus]
I know it don't work that way
But maybe you'll come back some day
I know it don't work like that
But maybe you can take it back

[Verse 3]
Now that there's no need to say a word
Can I still make amends?
But silence was the only kindness I heard
And forgiveness, the only revenge

Meeting all of the people
I've heard of from your past
Reading through all of your letters
Looking for your laugh

[Chorus]
You told me that love
Is when someone asks you
Please leave me alone
& you really do

You looked into my eyes
'Til I was your mother and son
I tried to look away
But saw you in everyone

[Outro]
I wish you had been at your memorial
Seen someone proposing on stage

Memorial
Is about loss …
&
The strangeness
of feeling
So numb,
and yet
so completely heart-broken-open …
It’s about three people I loved very much,
And some of it happened just like it says in the song …
Someone really did propose at one of the memorials …
We all thought they would have loved ho...
