lyrics
Hold on to me,
Don't loosen your grip.
Cause you know I'm bound to leave,
Bags packed to go,
I hope you know that
I hope your organs fail you before I do,
I hope your lungs run out of air before your dreams run out of truth,
I hope your heart explodes before you watch me turn human.
I hope you shiver from the cold before I let you sink,
I hope your body gives up before all your joy leaves,
and on that day you close your eyes, I hope you don't feel a thing.
Take all the time need, don't worry about me.
Because my rage has been my air to breathe, filling up my lungs.
I just don't have the strength,
The strength you really need.
I hope your organs fail you before I do,
I hope your lungs run out of air before your dreams run out of truth,
I hope your heart explodes before you watch me turn human.
I hope you shiver from the cold before I let you sink,
I hope your body gives up before all your joy leaves,
and on that day you close your eyes, I hope you don't feel a thing.
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
