FIRST AID KIT - To A Poet

Then he said, “Don’t give me nothing you don’t want to loose”
I said, “Darlin’, I’d give you everything I got, if I want, I’m to choose”
Then I got on a plane and flew far away from you
Though unwillingly I left and it was so, so hard to do

The streets here at home have rapidly filled up with the whitest of snow
And they don’t make no excuse for themselves and there’s no need I know

Though I miss you more than I can take and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake up there is the sake
but there’s nothing more to it, I just get through it
Ah, there’s nothing more to it, I just get through it 

It always takes me by surprise how dark it gets this time of year
And how apparent it all becomes that you’re not close, not even near
No matter how many times I tell myself I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up and facing those fears 

But Fran put it best when he said, “You can’t plan on the part”
Those words keep me on my feet when I think I might just fall apart

Though I miss you more than I can take and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake up there is the sake
but there’s nothing more to it, I just get through it
Ah, there’s nothing more to it, I just get through it
Ah, there’s nothing more to it, I just get through it

And so I ask, “Where are you now just when I needed you?”
I won’t ask again because I know there’s nothing we can do
Not now darlin’, you know it’s true
