Is it okay
Like, do you mind if I
Tell you 'bout something
Close to me? A tragedy
You know that jumper that I have
It’s big and grey and
Fits me perfectly?
I lost it
I realised I hadn’t seen it a while
It must’ve left me-
No, I left it
Somewhere in the world
Carelessly
Well, either way, I know
I won’t see it again
But it didn’t disappear
It’s out there, still existing
Still a jumper somewhere
And I find that somehow
Kind of, unbearable
Now it’s somewhere out there
Lost
Yeah, it’s somewhere out there
Lost
Maybe it’s just in the wash
I’m sorry in advance
I think I’m 'bout to tell you
One more tragedy. Apologies
You know that parent that I lost
The one who died?
I know right, careless of me
To not cure that incurable disease
I realise that there would come a day
One day, a day
I wouldn’t cry
And I would fret that meant
Forgetting or moving on
But he didn’t disappear
He’s in my head, he’s a voice
That’s in my ear that I’ve embedded
I know I won’t, I can’t forget it
It’s there with every step I trek
Yeah, it changes you
Melts you down and moulds you back
And then you’re standing there
Somebody new
Just somebody who has lost
Just somebody who has lost
Yeah, grief is searing hot
It’s huge but it
It makes sense
So, it’s almost peaceful
‘Cause you know it’s just
Love
Might be inside out, but it’s
Love
Nothing more or less
You know that person that I had
The boy I love, the one who left me-
No. I left him
Without realising the cost
When I’d accepted all was lost
No going back, no future memories
Family. Familiar is what it was
I found myself right back in that same role
Again, as just somebody who has lost
And it fit me like a favourite jumper does
But he didn’t disappear
He’s out there, like my jumper
Still existing somewhere
And I find that somehow
Kind of, more bearable
‘Cause I’m someone who is
Lost
Yeah, I’m somewhere out there
Lost
Maybe I’m just in the wash
