This song tries to escape the inescapable: whether it be love, fate, memory, or the Divine. Seeing reminders of someone everywhere to the point of near-delirium. The explosive instrumental and recurring background vocals give off a sense of endless pursuit.
lyrics
(Ah)
Saw your face in the lobby
Saw your face in the floor
Nothin’ strange, it’s familiar
It’s a sign I can’t ignore
Bless your heart
Bless your eyes
Bless your mouth
Bless your smile
I’ve been losing my grip
Haven’t seen you for a while
(Ah)
Found your book in the nightstand
Found your in the drawer
Hitched a ride to the country
I won’t see you anymore
You were wrong
You were right
You were poor
You were rich
You’re a thousand miles away
But you haven’t moved an inch
Oh, can’t let you go
Can’t let you go
Oh, can’t let you go
Can’t let you go
(Ah)
