Simple song with an arrangement that changes direction on a dime.
"I've grown to hate goodbyes. This song is all about learning to live with an important part of yourself missing," said Christopher.
The shifting arrangement was meant to echo the emotions in the song.
lyrics
when you say goodbye and you leave
there's nothing left but the moon in my eyes
still young enough to believe
but man enough to know what this means
I miss you here with me now
nothing to do but not be where you are now
far from the passion we once had
I will always love you
disconnect me from the past
I will always love you
far from your home and wherever you go
I'll still be here wishing you were near
when you say goodbye that's all you know
I laid in bed awake all night
'cos who can sleep when the bed's on fire
and my arms are wrapped around my head
and I'll never forget what they wanted to hold last night
far from the passion we once had
I will always love you
disconnect me from the past
I will always love you
far from your home and wherever you go
I'll still be here wishing you were near
ten years from now won't seem so long ago when we're 30
will you remember who is home when the phone rings
on some dirty night alone
and will I be the name
would I be the name
would I be the name
and would it be the same
but for tonight hold my hand
grip it tight and watch me fall
far from the passion we once had
I will always love you
disconnect me from the past
I will always love you
far from your home and wherever you go
I'll still be here wishing you were near
