Younger
The Hails Lyrics

It’s in the light that you left him
The evidence of your absence from his life is what he sees.

It’s in the light that you left on my door in the morn, and I know why
The light left on his door in the morning is a reminder of what was and why it's gone.

But, you don’t know me like that, no
She doesn't understand the depth and importance of his feelings.

‘Cause it’s the only thing I wanted when I had it in the morning, so
Waking up to her was everything he wanted, and now that it's gone, he mourns it.

Girl, it’s the only thing that’s stopping me and I don’t ever want to say no
The memory of what they had is the only thing that makes him hesitate to say no to her.

Because it’s too late, you’re too late about it
It's too late to reignite what they had because she's already gone.

Tell me how it was when you were younger
He wants to know more about her past and what made her the person she is today.

And though I don’t wait, no, I can’t wait around it
He's not waiting for her, but he still can't shake the memories and feelings he has for her.

It’s in the light that you left him
He can see the void she's left in his life and the impact of her absence.

It’s in the light that you left on my door at the morgue, and I know I died
The light she left on his door is a haunting reminder of what he's lost, and he feels as though a part of him has died.

I don’t know why I didn’t mind
He's not sure why he was okay with the situation when things were good between them.

So, tell me how it was when you were younger
He wants to understand her better and what made her the person she is today.

I don’t know why I didn’t mind, no
He's still questioning why he was okay with the way things were, but he can't seem to find an answer.
