We Want to (See You Again)

by Static Signals

/

about

This track was written over the space of about a year and a half and is about the death of Andy's grandfathers who both died a few months apart. Despite the sombre theme, the song progresses towards the idea of moving on with life and onto the next chapter, written around an energetic, hooky pop-rock song that'll get you singing along in no time...

lyrics

------------------------------------------

Verse 1:
You made us smile all the time,
For years, it was the best,
Yeah everything was fine,
As a kid, I would never have guessed…

That behind the smiles and laughter,
And every single blood-test,
There was no “happily-ever-after”,
‘Cause now you are at rest…

I still remember that day,
When your light began to fade,
With no packed bags, no messages,
My heart began to fray.

A frail voice came to say,
“It’s bad news I’m afraid…”
Just numb and dismayed, couldn’t this be delayed,
For another decade?

Chorus:
We want to, we want to see you again,
Because you’ve been away for way too long.
We want to, we want to see you again,
It’s hard to stay this strong.

Verse 2:
It’s not your fault; you’re not to blame,
When you began to forget my name,
The memories slip; it’s such a shame,
What a nightmare this became.

For months and months, you just got worse;
I never thought it would end with a hearse,
Or that one that day you’d disappear,
It’s not the same without you here!

Stood in the rain, there’s so much pain;
I wish I could see your face again!

There’s no need to explain, I will ascertain,
Yet this is driving me insane!

Chorus x 1

Bridge:
Sky’s not blue, just different shades of grey.
I remember your face like it was yesterday.
I wish that you could stay;
Not have to go away.

Chorus x 1

Final Chorus:
We want to, we want to see you again,
Though you’re never coming back, I know…
We want to, we want to see you again,
The time has come to let go!
