Behind The Lyrics

i wrote this song based off of 2 things that have had a great impact in my life. a band called My Chemical Romance, and a quote from one of my favorite movies Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

the quote is “We met at the wrong time. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway. Maybe one day years from now, we’ll meet in a coffee shop in a far away city somewhere and we could give it another shot.” i’ve always loved this quote. just thinking about a past relationship you’ve had, you gave your whole world to that person. you shared similarities and so many stories and built a life together. i’m sure at one point you thought you would spend the rest of your life with that person. then the next moment they’re not in your life anymore. it’s a really tough transition to go through. i think everything in life does happen for a reason, and to imagine running into that person you once gave your life to, years and years down the road in a completely different place in the world is a wild thing to imagine. maybe the idea sounds better than the reality, but it’s a quote that always stuck with me.

 

my chemical romance is the other inspiration behind this song. specifically the album three cheers for sweet revenge. that album defined my childhood, i grew up on that album, so it holds a special place in my life. so i wanted to incorporate it into the lyrics. when i think of just the name “my chemical romance” i think about a toxic relationship, or one that’s just not working out. and that’s what inspired the whole song. a couple who once saw the world in each others eyes, had their differences, and ended up parting. battling through the heartbreak and all that comes with it. wondering if they met at the wrong time and thinking that maybe they could reconnect in the future. my chemical romance

Lyrics

I saw you the night when your mother passed

Left a hole in my heart

That i'm never getting back

I don't know which is worse

Having seen you like that

Or the fact being that close is a thing of the past

 

Got the timing wrong

Tell myself hold on

Reading sad poetry in a coffee shop

Where I wanna be

Is with you maybe

Years from now we'll meet in a new city

 

So long and goodnight

I see you everytime

The ghost of you on a cemetery drive

I'm not okay no, i'm not okay no

You were the best part of me

 

I admit I was scared

I don't like who I am no no no

Everyday I see you everyday

In reflections of me

Every pill that I take

 

Did you ever move on

Did your father call

Haven't heard your voice in so damn long

Found your old black jeans

Made it hard to breathe

If I prayed to a God would he even save me

 

So long and goodnight

I see you everytime

The ghost of you on a cemetery drive

I'm not okay no, i'm not okay no

You were the best part of me

 

The best of me

The best of me

Falling apart feels like home

Falling apart feels like home no no no

 

So long and goodnight

I see you everytime

The ghost of you on a cemetery drive

I'm not okay no, i'm not okay no

You were the best part of me
