[Verse 1]
Jed said it best
"Oh, the sun will set
Only to rise again"
I say, "It’s funny"
Though my eyes are wet
Somehow everything’s changed
But nothing I guess
[Chorus]
The words escape me every time
No perfect line
No poetry in dying
In my grief, I'll laugh as much as cry
While life without you starts
While life without you starts
Tonight
Oh, tonight
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll stand in an empty field
Walk till the day makes sense
Maybe I'll see now the window's clean
That there's nothing to fear
But fear itself
[Chorus]
The words escape me every time
There’s no perfect line
Ain’t no poetry in dying
In my grief, I will laugh as much as cry
While life without you starts
While life without you starts
Tonight, mm
Tonight
[Bridge]
And it's sad, not beautiful
It’s flowers at a funeral
[Chorus]
And the words escape me every time
There's no perfect line
No poetry in dying
In my dreams, I'll laugh as much as cry
Oh, while life without you starts
While life without you starts
While life without you starts
While life without you starts
Tonight

I wrote this song two days after my dad’s funeral. The words are inspired by my brother’s eulogy.
If you’ve followed me for a while, I think you might know how much my dad inspired my music 💛
