"And There Goes My Life..."

I've unfortunately been forced to study my previous subject's research of depression and grief - this elective has not been a happy one. But there are buoys of enlightenment to hold on to.

This song is so beautifully, heart-wrenchingly honest, and although I believe it's a long-distance relationship, or perhaps break-up song, I find it fitting to every form of grief or loss. I love how it covers you with the umber dust of regret and sorrow for lost loved ones, then picks you up, brushes the webs if dolour from your sunken shoulders, and sends you off into the mountains with nothing but hope.

"Hello, I'm In Delaware" - City and Colour (Dallas Green)

So there goes my life,

Passing by with every exit sign.

It's been so long,

Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong.

No sleep tonight,

I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines.

And as the moon fades,

One moment gone, only twenty more days.

But I will see you again,

I will see you again,

A long time from now.

And there goes my life,

Passing by with every departing flight.

And its been so hard,

So much time so far apart.

And she walks the night.

How many hearts will die tonight?

And will things have changed?

I guess I'll find out in seventeen days.

But I will see you again,

I will see you again,

A long time from now.

My body aches,

And it hurts to sing.

No one is moving.

And I wish that I weren't here tonight,

But this is my life.

And I will see you again,

I will see you again,

A long time from now.

And I will see you again,

I will see you again a long time from now.

See you later Ethan..
