**UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN** **(Hook)** Until we meet again, I hope you're somewhere feeling peace, 'Cause the thought of you still hurts me every time I barely sleep. I been trying to accept it, but accepting ain't relief, You can tell yourself it's over, but your heart don't always leave. Until we meet again, I'll keep talking through these songs, Put the pain into a melody and let it carry on. I got everything I wanted, but there's something always wrong, 'Cause the person I would call first isn't here to hear it all. **(Verse 1)** I remember getting news that made the whole room disappear, Like somebody pulled the oxygen and left me standing there. I could hear the words around me, but they never reached my ears, I was looking at the world like, "How the fuck is everything still here?" I kept waiting for the moment somebody told me it was wrong, Kept convincing myself maybe this was some kind of misunderstanding. But reality don't negotiate, and death don't give refunds, So I learned that you can lose somebody and still wake up the next one. That's the part that really broke me, how the morning still arrived, How the sun came through the window like my brother didn't die. People went about their business, cars were passing by outside, While I was trying to understand how your whole life could just divide. Now I carry conversations that we'll never get to finish, Every sentence left unfinished turns into another memory. I remember all the little things I never thought I'd miss, Now I'd give almost anything to hear you say some stupid shit. **(Hook)** Until we meet again, I hope you're somewhere feeling peace, 'Cause the thought of you still hurts me every time I barely sleep. I been trying to accept it, but accepting ain't relief, You can tell yourself it's over, but your heart don't always leave. Until we meet again, I'll keep talking through these songs, Put the pain into a melody and let it carry on. I got everything I wanted, but there's something always wrong, 'Cause the person I would call first isn't here to hear it all. **(Verse 2)** I still scroll through old pictures when I need to see your face, And I hate that all my memories are frozen in one place. I can zoom into a photograph, but I can't step inside the frame, Can't hear what you were saying, can't create another day. And I know that sounds impossible, but grief don't care what's true, It'll make you have conversations with a person that can't answer you. I've talked to you in empty rooms, I've told you what I've been through, Then I sit there with the silence and remember I can't get to you. I wish you could've seen me grow, would've loved to hear your thoughts, Wish you could've watched me fight for every dream I ever sought. Every time I make a song, there's a piece of you involved, Not because I'm trying to force it, but because you're in my heart. And sometimes I'm fucking angry, I don't even know at who, At the universe, at God, at time, at everything but you. 'Cause nobody gets to tell me what I'm supposed to feel or do, They didn't lose my brother, so they don't get to choose for me. **(Bridge)** If I could trade my future for another day with you, I'd do it without a second thought, there's nothing I wouldn't lose. I'd give you every minute that I thought I'd ever use, Just to sit beside my brother and remember being two. I don't need a perfect ending. I don't need some grand design. I just wish I'd known the final time was the final time. **(Verse 3)** Now I'm older than I was the last time you were here, And that's a strange kind of pain that gets heavier each year. Every birthday, every milestone somehow makes it more severe, 'Cause I'm becoming somebody you will never get to meet. I wonder if you'd recognize me, wonder what you'd think, Wonder if you'd hear my music and tell me that it was sick. Wonder if you'd make fun of the emotional shit I put in it, Then probably tell me you were proud before you laughed at me again. That's the memory that I want, not some perfect movie scene, Just the ordinary version of you that still exists inside of me. The way you talked, the way you laughed, the things you used to be, Because losing someone isn't losing one memory, it's losing every possibility. And I still have days I break down when nobody's around, Turn the music off completely just to listen to the sound Of a house that feels too quiet when I'm thinking about the past, Then I whisper, "I love you, bro," knowing I won't hear it back. **(Final Hook)** Until we meet again, I hope you're somewhere feeling peace, 'Cause the thought of you still hurts me every time I barely sleep. I been trying to accept it, but accepting ain't relief, You can tell yourself it's over, but your heart don't always leave. Until we meet again, I'll keep talking through these songs, Put the pain into a melody and let it carry on. I got everything I wanted, but there's something always wrong, 'Cause the person I would call first isn't
