Lyrics:
finally found a place to lay my head / looks so good from down here on this hospital bed / I’ll be the one to be undone / I’ll go where the sun isn’t shining / once I was young, those days are long gone / suddenly I’m 33 and on a gurney / apologies and obligations, all the myriad sensations compounding / echoes in my brain / echoed in refrain / always a replay like a grecian tragedy / oh, where the time goes / who really knows/ you said, “get a doctor my wife’s going under” / she’s off where the sun isn’t shining / I thought I would argue or cleverly bargain / it looks like I won’t be going down stoically / oh to love you and be loved, to have the final memory of you compounding / echoes in my brain / echoed in refrain / echoes all the same way, away / oh, where the time goes / who really knows

They really just wrote my whole summer playlist.

[@TreenaBeena]

When you know the real meaning behind this song, it’s that much sweeter. What a beautiful ode to Alaina’s health scare that rocked them both.

[@allieallieallie596]

Cape Dory walked so Swimmer could run 👏🏼 I’m absolutely in love with this album 😭

[@flowerchild6309]

allieallieallie more like Cape Dory ran so Swimmer could walk. But yesssss !!! 100% :))

[@allieallieallie596]

Flower Child hm maybe more cape dory paved the way so swimmer could run lol it made sense in my head

[@flowerchild6309]

I'll be the one to be undone I'll go where the sun isn't shining Once I was young Those days are gone Suddenly I'm thirty-three And on a gurney Apologies and obligations All the myriad sensations compounding Echoes in my brain Echoed in refrain Always a replay Like a Grecian tragedy Oh where the time goes Who really knows You said, "Get a doctor" "My wife's going under" She's off where the sun isn't shinning I thought I would argue Or cleverly bargain It looks like I won't be going down stoically Oh to love you and be loved To have the final memory of you compounding Echoes in my brain Echoed in refrain Echoes all the same way, oh Way, oh Way, oh Way, ooh, ooh-ooh Oh where the time goes Who really knows Oh where the time goes Who really knows
