Random post: Song lyrics

I've been listening to two songs on repeat in the last few weeks; the first, of course, is New Found Glory's "Sonny" (lyrics posted previously). The second is one I had forgotten about for some time. I listened to it often two summers ago, when I came home to an empty house the day my grandfather was rushed to the ER. Luckily, that time, his open-heart surgery went well, and he's been home and fairly healthy since.

Either way, I suppose this song touches on some of the things I've felt since I heard about my brother. This is "Should've Been There" by Earshot.

I hope I'm not too late

I hope that you're ok

I left in a hurry

As soon as they told me

So I prayed for you

Hang on till tomorrow

Just don't leave me here today

I'm coming home to you

(Should've been there)

Should've been there, I wanted to

(Should've been there)

Should've been there right next to you

(Should've been there)

Should've been there to comfort you

(Should've been there)

Should've been there to sing to you

(Should've been there)

Should've been there to hold your hand

(Should've been there)

Should've been there to be with you

After all that we've been through

Yes, it's hard to say goodbye

And what I wish right now is to somehow turn back time

With all of the love

And respect

That I hold right here for you

Hang on 'til tomorrow

Just don't leave me here today

I'm coming home to you

The funny thing is, Matt would've kicked my ass for being so whiny over losing him, always the protective big brother. I just still can't believe he's gone -- I feel like I should be able to call him and hear him pick up on the other end.

The sun will set for you.
