Lyrics
Past Tense
VERSE ONE
Reading down through that tribute wall
Always one to heed the call
How do we go on from this?
We all yearn for one more time
But left with see you on the other side
Knowing what a gift
Pre Chorus/Lift
Trying to make sense
That we now refer to you in
CHORUS
Past Tense
You can't be gone
It feels so wrong
We know we must go on.
We must come to terms with
Past Tense
VERSE TWO
Many recall when you first met
While they didn't know you yet
You already felt like a good friend
Every talk came with a smile
You asked about them and their lives
Sad for it to end
Pre Chorus/Lift
Trying to make sense
That we now refer to you in
CHORUS
Past Tense
You can't be gone
It feels so wrong
We know we must go on.
We must come to terms with
Past Tense
