I Just Didn't Know

This empty old house seems smaller now 
Where our children grew and scuffed across these wooden floors
Sometimes I still hear an echo from small voices in the summer air
Everything echoes
(Everything  Echoes)
in an empty old house you know
Think I’ll take it with me when I go

You were so young in your white dress 
The old women scoffed, saying. “It will never last.”
Remember how drunk I got before passing out?
Oh, my love, you were so mad, but it never showed
Think I’ll take it with me when I go 
Think I’ll take it with me when I go 

Time clicks away the time it takes to create a memory 
Young hands become old, but love is what you keep
Even when you sleep, even when you sleep.
Time clicks away a year into a lifetime of memories
In my heart is a memory of you I still keep
Even when I sleep, even when I sleep

There is a woman in a picture frame hanging on the wall
Of a new old house across town, but it’s really not too far
She is cooking dinner, or maybe washing clothes 
She moves a little slower now, but now we all move slow
Think I’ll take it with me when I go 

Time clicks away a year into a lifetime of memories
In my heart is a memory of you I still keep
Even when I sleep, even when I sleep 
Time clicks away a year into a lifetime of memories
In my heart is a memory of you I still keep
Even when I sleep, even when I sleep 
Even when I sleep, even when I sleep 
(Even when)
Even when I sleep, even when I sleep 
(Even when)
Even when I sleep, even when I sleep 
(Even when)
Even when I sleep, even when I sleep 

(Even when I sleep, even when I sleep )
(Even when I sleep, even when I sleep )
(Even when I sleep, even when I sleep )

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Like a maze, the first half is free
The second takes you farther away from me
What kind of world we'd be
If no-one heard him say I have a dream

They said we'll fight them on the beach, yeah
Like it's a good thing to give each his end
Never mind what the good book teaches
Ignore the gospel that his creatures send

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Like a crown, I wear my regret
Turns out the truth is just a silhouette
Made of nothing yet
We trace the outline and at once it's set

See my father in my history
And in my future he's still all I see
This kind of symmetry
Is what makes all of us so hard to beat

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

📝 Lyrics:

This tale moves quickly in the night
It drags all the dirt I've left behind
These steps they are small and unprepared 
For the remnants of a thought
Once past and now long since forgot 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear 

It seems like forever and more
But it's closer than you have ever known
As I pull away the floor beneath my feat
I am broken at the seems 
So I'll stay and take all that I need 

Maybe call me in the morning please 
Just to wake me from this sleep
Because nothing ever happens here 
And I am foolish from the fear

Simon Herron - Nothing Ever Happens (with lyrics)

lately I’ve been floating by
won’t take much to drift into the night sky
with shallow breath and hollow bones
one more gust might fly me to your room
but is there even room?

maybe we’re destined
to be felt and forgotten
all at once
I think of you often
you’re something to get lost in
and I’ve got losing to do

some of us are made of string
others break and never feel a damn thing
can’t remember which I am
lying here in this hotel bed
just imagining 

maybe we’re destined
to be felt and forgotten
all at once
like Egyptian Cotton
you’re something to get lost in
and I’ve got losing to do

lately I’ve been floating by
won’t take much to drift into the night

All at Once I Saw It All
