about
The song traces the range of events that occur after a breakup; the initial conversation through to the endless doubts and despair you feel to the realisation that the split was in fact, for the best.
Without having to over adorn her vocals, Natalie’s unique and dreamlike sound open the song with lush harmonic layers which create an ethereal and beautiful soundscape. Later on, soaring, overlapping melodies and some serious tambourine shaking and guitar strumming encapsulate a sense of freedom from self doubt.
lyrics
State the facts, cold and hard
Please don't beat around the bush
Say the words, but don't you go getting
Tangled up in someone's universe
Oh, I'll keep holding on to the rope
But you left its grip long ago
Let me drift, let me float away
Now it's time to say goodbye
To part our ways
You'll stay in my heart and in my mind always
I won't forget your eternal grace
Dropped in to the woods
Making friends with the bears and wolves
They say the leaves stay grey, the darkness never fades
But walking down a hidden road, I see the things I should have known
The things that kept me from the straight and narrow
Now it's time to say goodbye
To part our ways
You'll stay in my heart and in my mind always
I won't forget your eternal grace
