Stand side to side for a picture Smile for the time I'm trying to capture The joys of the past And the patchwork rapture Where was your mind when we started? Notes from beyond And the dear departed Words and phrases worn down with time It hasn't been that long Why does it feel strange? It's hard to hear your voice Or picture your face Now that everything's changed Now that everything's changed Gather your strength for the coming chapter Smile if you can While you fake composure A knock on the door in a hazy, hazy dream It hasn't been that long Why does it feel strange? It's hard to hear your voice Or picture your face Now that everything's changed Now that everything's changed Everything's changed Why do the jays cry in this rain? Why has a door opened up again? The air of a coming cold Slides through the walls It hasn't been that long Why does it feel strange? It's hard to hear your voice Or picture your face
