[00:00.300]I never got to kiss your head,ah Emme
[00:05.000]And the call came the week I got divorced
[00:11.000]I thought I had a real understanding then of loss
[00:16.000]But I didn't know a thing 'til you were gone
[00:22.000]And I'm tired of trying
[00:23.000]To find some sort of meaningful thing
[00:27.000]In making sense of such unspeakable loss
[00:32.000]But as I'm staring at your folks
[00:34.000]The sweetest people i know
[00:38.000]I get a glimpse of what it is to be strong
[00:43.000]Just holding hands and sobbing with sunglasses on
[00:49.000]'Coz nothing tuned me in
[00:52.000]To absurdity as fast
[00:55.000]As a gravestone with
[00:56.000]The name of a baby that has passed
[01:00.000]I used to wanna be important
[01:03.000]Now I just wanna be alive and without fear
[01:09.000]You got to persevere
[01:33.000]I couldn't count the times I've ragged on heaven
[01:38.000]As an opiate invented by the weak
[01:43.000]It's an argument I hate
[01:46.000]'Coz I'm content to love the fates
[01:49.000]But it comes up a lot with Emme's dad and me
[01:54.000]So I'm shotgun in the car
[01:57.000]And we're just shooting the shit
[02:00.000]And predictably the talking turns to God
[02:05.000]So I throw him forty lines
[02:08.000]How I don't think he exists
[02:11.000]And he just smiles and takes a dignified pause
[02:16.000]Says, "it's ok to feel unbelievably lost"
[02:22.000]But God is full of grace
[02:25.000]And his faithfulness is vast
[02:27.000]There is safety in the moments
[02:30.000]When the shit has hit the fan
[02:32.000]Not some vindictive mother****er
[02:35.000]Nor is he shitty at his job
[02:38.000]What words to hear
[02:42.000]And I'm a mess by now
[02:44.000]'Coz nothing tuned me in to my failure as fast
[02:49.000]As grieving for a friend
[00:51.000]With more belief than I possessed
[00:54.000]It's not some disembodied heaven
[00:58.000]He assured me
[03:00.000]Then he laughed and says through tears
[03:05.000]You got to persevere
[03:11.000]Persevere
[03:17.000]Persevere
[03:22.000]Persevere
[03:49.000]We threw a party up in here
[03:52.000]But god it was bittersweet
[03:54.000]I live hard ‘coz I am scared
[03:57.000]That I won't mean anything
[04:00.000]So now I'm praying to the ceiling
[04:02.000]To the windows, to the walls
[04:05.000]Against this sudden sinking feeling
[04:08.000]That there's nothing there at all and still
[04:13.000]We just persevere
