Story Behind The Song
I wrote this about how quickly time passes, about a girl who became addicted to drugs and moved back home, and the death of my grandmother. About how abruptly things can change and disappear forever if you're not paying attention.

Lyrics
There's no one to replace you
At least not in that way
but for your information
I'm happy you moved away
these fluorescents hum softly
so it shouldn't bother me
I need coffee and TV
I need sunlight and symmetry
before you know it
you know
things got out of control
before you know it
you know it
things got out of control
Now I need you to be patient
for just a few more days
and I'll handle the arrangements
if your limpin' just walk away
I don't need philosophy
you don't mean a lot to me
tiny silver
cups for tea
who's sitting across from me?
before you know it
you know
things got out of control
before you know it
you know it
things got out of control
