This song addresses, among other things, the death of Alisa’s mother who passed away when she was very young. It’s a topic most notably addressed in the song “I Kill Giants” from In Rolling Waves.
[Chorus: Alisa Xayalith & Thomas Powers]
I can't replace the loss of my mother
I can't erase the loss for my father
I can't replace the loss with another
But I can regain myself and recover
[Bridge]
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)
[Verse 1: Alisa Xayalith]
When I feel my bones get heavy (Ah ah ah)
Sinking like a stone and heady (Ah ah ah)
(Sometimes I wish I could speak to you) (Sometimes I wish I could speak to you) (Ah ah ah)
[Pre-Chorus: Alisa Xayalith]
Every time I felt my heartache (Ah ah)
From falling in love by mistake (Ah ah)
(Sometimes I wish I could speak to you) (Sometimes I wish I could speak to you)
[Chorus: Alisa Xayalith & Thomas Powers]
I can't replace the loss of my mother
I can't erase the loss for my father
I can't replace the loss with another
But I can regain myself and recover
I can regain myself and recover (er, er)
[Verse 2: Alisa Xayalith]
(Leaving home before I'm ready) (Ah)
(Standing on my feet unsteady) (Ah)
(I wish I could I could) (Ah)
Reach out for you (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus: Alisa Xayalith]
Every time I felt my heartache
From falling in love by mistake
(Sometimes I wish I could speak to you) (Sometimes I wish I could speak to you)
[Chorus: Alisa Xayalith & Thomas Powers]
I can't replace the loss of my mother
I can't erase the loss for my father
I can't replace the loss with another
But I can regain myself and recover
I can regain myself and recover
(I can regain myself and recover)
