Lyrics

I guess it's not so far away, anyway
What difference does twenty-odd years make?
Only the days that we'd spend where near-nothing was said
But the love went unspoken, we knew
Only the way that we'd listen and share in the bliss
As the music inspired us anew
Some difference, enough difference
For the terror to threaten to strangle my lungs and consume
I guess it's not so far away, anyway
What difference does twenty-odd years make?
Only the child that he'd hold, both the young and the old
Finding features the other would share
Only the nightmares I'd have where I'm losing my dad
But can't wake up and shake off the fear
Some difference, enough difference
For the grief to engulf me and wash me up, gasping for air
I guess it's not so far away, anyway
What difference does twenty-odd years make?
Only the light in his eyes, almost bursting with pride
As he'd wonder at all we'd become
Only the garments he'd wear 'til the cloth thins and tears
And the patterns are lost to the sun
Only the shape of his face that'll falter and fade
'Til the photos feel distant and strange
Only the sound of his voice, now a finite resource
Having said every word it'll say
Some difference, enough to break me
Some difference, enough, don't take him now
Those years are ours
I guess it's not so far away, anyway
What difference does twenty-odd years make?
Only the sound and the shape of his voice and his face
And the un-numbered days that we'd...
I know it's been a long ride
Longer than we could've hoped for
He says he's had a good life
Still I could do with a bit more time for him to be in mine
We're all gonna die sometime
I guess we're getting by, and s-
I know it's been a long ride
Longer than we could've hoped for
He says he's had a good life
Still I could do with a bit more time for him to be in mine
We're all gonna die sometime
I guess we're getting by, and someday we'll be alright
