This song talks about what they hope their loved ones will hang on to and how they’ll be remembered. In an interview with NFG, they stated that this is the record’s centerpiece dedicated to Gilbert’s daughter, Lily, and the most poignant New Found Glory song ever.
Interview with NFG
[Verse]
The gift I find
In your eyes
I've seen the sunrise at national parks
You still outshine
How your voice
Brings out joy
More than my favorite songs
I've got to hear it again
[Pre Chorus]
All I've accomplished in my life
Now feels meaningless compared to you
[Chorus]
If I lost to this sickness
I'd still smile in heaven
'Cause I'd watch you growing
Send signals
A silent breeze or a falling star
Because you were mine
[Verse]
Every crossroad
The steps I take
I see your face
Even in different states
To leave bеhind
The best of myself
So with all your friеnds
You'll have good stories to tell
[Pre Chorus]
All I've accomplished in my life
Now feels meaningless compared to you
[Chorus]
If I lost to this sickness
I'd still smile in heaven
'Cause I'd watch you growing
Send signals
A silent breeze or a falling star
Because you were mine
Because you were mine
Because you were mine
[Pre Chorus]
All I've accomplished in my life
Now feels meaningless compared to you
[Chorus]
If I lost to this sickness
I'd still smile in heaven
'Cause I'd watch you growing
Send signals
A silent breeze or a falling star
Because you were mine
Because you were mine
Because you were mine
'Cause I'd watch you growing
Send signals
A silent breeze or a falling star
Because you were mine
Because you were mine
