Parade Lyrics

This is the longest day I've ever had
The feeling of being far away from a loved one makes time feel longer and more difficult to handle.

I'm far away but I am right there
Despite being physically distant, the emotional connection to a loved one remains strong and present.

If distance only makes you stronger
The belief that distance can strengthen a relationship through the act of missing someone and building independence.

Don't make it last any longer
Despite the potential benefits of distance, the pain is becoming overwhelming and it is becoming difficult to handle any longer.

My mind is racing and it won't stop
Anxiety and negative thoughts are taking over, making it difficult to focus on anything else.

And every thought is something negative
The thoughts that are consuming the mind are overwhelmingly negative and harmful.

I hope this doesn't last forever
A plea to the universe to end the suffering that has been ongoing for too long.

We're always meant to be together
Despite the current physical distance, there is a belief that the relationship is meant to be and will ultimately succeed.

I won't lie, this hurts more than you'll ever know
The pain being experienced is deep and intense, perhaps beyond what the person being addressed can comprehend.

That's when something told me that
A sense of intuition kicks in, providing a sense of comfort or guidance.

If I pinch myself so that I wake
The desire to wake up from a bad dream and discover that the current situation isn't real.

(That means it never really happened)
The hope that the current situation is simply a bad dream and is not actually happening in reality.

'Cause I can feel my tears finding their way
The tears being shed are a sign of the deep emotional pain being experienced.

(I fear it's worse than I imagined)
The grief being experienced may be even more intense than what the person initially expected.

I'm sick of writing every thought out
The act of processing emotions through writing has become exhausting and overwhelming.

Reliving every single moment
The overwhelming desire to replay every interaction and moment shared with the loved one being missed.

Say what you mean, it's now or never
The understanding that life is too short to waste time on unspoken thoughts or feelings.

Because nothing is forever
A reminder of the impermanence of life and the importance of expressing oneself before it's too late.

Your eyes rolled back as you fade to black
The memory of a loved one's last moments before death, causing great emotional pain.

(It's not worth living without you)
The emotional pain caused by losing someone is so great that life feels as though it is not worth living without them.

But I'll hold this memory
Despite the pain, the memory of the loved one and the moments shared will be cherished and remembered forever.

And I swear I won't forget your face
The promise to keep the memory of the loved one alive and never forget their face.

'Cause pictures always seem to fade away
The understanding that even memories can fade over time, but the love and connection will remain.

Now my blood turns red to blue
The emotional pain being experienced is so intense that it feels as though the blood in the body is changing color.

And I can't breathe without you
The pain of missing someone is so great that it is difficult to even breathe.
