Someone Great lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wish that we could talk about it

But there, that's the problem

With someone new I could have started

Too late for beginnings

The little things that made me nervous

Are gone in a moment

I miss the way we used to argue

Locked in your basement

[Verse 2]

I wake up and the phone is ringing

Surprised, as it's early

And that should be a perfect warning

That something's a problem

To tell the truth, I saw it coming

The way you were breathing

But nothing can prepare you for it

The voice on the other end

[Verse 3]

The worst is all the lovely weather

I'm stunned it's not raining

The coffee isn't even bitter

Because what's the difference?

There's all the work that needs to be done

It's late for revision

There's all the time and all the planning

And songs to be finished

[Bridge]

And it keeps coming and it keeps coming

And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops

And it keeps coming and it keeps coming

And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops

And it keeps coming and it keeps coming

And it keeps coming and it keeps coming

And it keeps coming and it keeps coming

And it keeps coming 'til the day it stops

[Verse 4]

I wish that we could talk about it

But there, that's the problem

With someone new I could have started

Too late for beginnings

You're smaller than my wife imagined

Surprised you were human

There shouldn't be this radio silence

But what are the options?

[Outro]

When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone

When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone

When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone

When someone great is gone, when someone great is gone

We're safe

For the moment

Saved

For the moment
