I'll Miss The Me I Was When You Weren't Gone



I'll Miss The Me I Was When You Weren't Gone

 This is the next song in the possession album. The me-character anticipates what it's going to feel like when the fire god goes back up to the sun. She anticipates missing what she used to be like when he was here.

The lyrics are:

I'll miss the me I was when you weren't gone
I'll miss the me I was when you weren't gone

Ninety two point eight six four million
Miles away is where you will be

I'll miss the me I was when you weren't gone
I'll miss the me I was when you weren't gone

I don't know what to think about this
Sense of future separateness
Will you think of me when you're up there
In the sun above? I can't bear

To think of being long forgotten
By my sunny shiny, fiery friend

What if I am the moon, reflecting back the sun?
I guess I'll find out soon, and I'll miss you a ton
I hope you do not forget about me, my old friend
What if I come to regret the way this story ends?
What if I am the moon, and you're the fiery sun?
I'll be hidden in gloom, not seen by anyone
But you say that I have light inside my very soul
And by myself I'll be bright, a burning fiery coal

I'll miss the us we were when you weren't gone
I'll miss the us we were when you weren't gone

Here's the alternative player-thingy, in case it's more to your liking than the one above:
