For Tara - Coby Grant

I know that you believe that nothing’s waiting when you die

And God knows that I agree the suffering is left behind

To those who’ll miss you when you’re gone

To those who’ll listen to your songs on repeat

I know that you believe you’ve fit a lot into this life

And God knows that I agree there’s those worse off than you and I

But you’re really far too young

For me to write this kind of song for you

I ask if you are scared

You say you feel prepared

And anyway someday don’t we all die?

I’ll say it isn’t fair

You’ll say it isn’t fair

And I hate that I have to say goodbye

But I won’t forget you, so don’t forget that

And I will rmember to nevr forget what I have

And I will be present, 'cause this life is precious

You taught me that

I know that you are grateful and somehow see it as a gift

To know your time is running out and to make the most of it

And I know that you’ve found happiness

In all these little things somehow

The world will keep on spinning and our lives will just go on

New memories will be made even though you’ll be gone

And this lump stuck in my throat will eventually go away

I ask if you are scared

You say you feel prepared

And anyway someday don’t we all die?

I’ll say it isn’t fair

You’ll say it isn’t fair

And I hate that I have to say goodbye

But I won’t forget you, so don’t forget that

And I will remember to never forget what I have

And I will be present, 'cause this life is precious

You taught me that

I know that you believe there’s nothing waiting when you die

But I have to disagree, I’ll see you when the time is right

We always said we’d write a song

And who’d have known that all along it would be this
