Name: Past The Point
Duration: P00H02M51S
Description: In the year and a half before my granny died, my dad said "I love you" more times to her than he ever said in the 60 years before. So now I tell my parents I love them every time I see them. I also tell my friends as much as I can, because it's better to be honest about it than realize you never were.

about

In the year and a half before my granny died, my dad said "I love you" more times to her than he ever said in the 60 years before. So now I tell my parents I love them every time I see them. I also tell my friends as much as I can, because it's better to be honest about it than realize you never were.

lyrics

It can take so long to realize
When the gap is small in family ties
What you didn't say can prove to be
The hard-hitter in the eulogy

If you know it, feel it, say it
It'll become integrated
As casual as "hi"
Preceding your goodbyes

Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you now while you can still understand
Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you before you're past the point that you can't

If it drives you apart
Though you feel it in your heart
Hold on to it for a friend
Just in case they ever want it again

Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you now while you can still understand
Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you before you're past the point that you can't
Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you now while you can still understand
Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you before you're past the point

Don't be scared to admit it
I mean, it's scarier to miss it
Feel it behind your eyes
Lay on the beach and cry

Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you now while you can still understand
Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you before you're past the point that you can't
Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you now while you can still understand
Yeah I love you
And I'll tell you before you're past the point
