written, recorded, and produced by Sam Davis. harmonies performed by Ellie Bean Abrams.

lyrics

I lost a lot over the years
i lost even my name
i lost a lot over the year
i even lost your face

i sometimes sing the song of you
i sometimes dream your name
i sometimes think you’re standing there
hand under my vein

i could sing you every night and day
but then nowhere i’d be
i’d even sing my name away
and miss your calls to me

oh when the light
oh when the light

I lost a lot over our time
I lost the way you smell
I tried to keep it in my drawers
But through the cracks you fell

Your things are laid across my room
I can’t escape the air
I tried to take it down one time
But looked into your stare

Photo from 4th grade of yours
You look over my bed
I find me smiling back at you
I miss the way you said

Oh when the light

maybe i thought this wouldn’t hurt cuz
it’s my fifth time
maybe i saw you on that bench
one year ago fine
But it’s you
You keep the night at bay
Even when you’re far away
and it’s you
i sing to ditmas park
even when im dreaming in the dark
And it’s you, and it’s you

Oh when the light
