A song Gary Lightbody wrote about his father, Jack, who has Alzheimer’s disease, which causes the decline of mental faculties, including memory loss. The music video features Jack and Gary Lightbody watching old home movies together.
[Chorus]
Soon you'll not remember anything
But then someday neither will I
Tomorrow though is nothing to fear
Because father it's always today
[Verse 1]
Life won't flash before your eyes
Instead will fall away then melt like snow
The secret storms of your wild youth
Now just gentle breezes, warm and faint
[Chorus]
Soon you'll not remember anything
But then some day neither will I
Tomorrow though is nothing to fear
Because father it's always today
[Bridge]
I can ride on your coat tails again
Like I always did as a little boy
We are standing on the home shores now
My whole hand hanging onto your thumb
There's a place in the palace of you
We can always be standing like that
We could hide in there, just as we were then
Just my father and I am just your son
[Outro]
Your son
Your son
Your son

According to Gary Lightbody in 2018:
I was writing another song about my dad. Every time I would leave home, which was a lot – I would go home and then I would have to go, either go on tour or back to America or whatever – I would say, ‘I love you, Dad,’ before I left, and he would go, ‘Oh, yeah.’...
