about

A song of love and loss about Sadie, a beloved beagle taken too soon. It's purposefully written to obfuscate the fact that it's not about a person though.

lyrics

Thought it'd be nice
A big empty house
Just me and my girl
Not a care in the world
The silence it cuts
Like knives in my chest
An absence so loud
Goddamn I'm impressed

Wise men say
You don't know whatcha got til it's gone
n' I say I got
One empty chair

Prolly took you for granted
I keep kicking myself
Me n' this here piano
Will keep wishin' you well
Brought you flowers today
They shine bright in the sun
Baby this here goodbye
Is the hardest I've ever sung

Been missin' you girl
Seems like so long
Missin' those nights
I still can't sleep alone
Got tears on my pillow
And a hole in my heart
Girl, I'll see you in heaven
You just got a little headstart

Wise men say
You don't know whatcha got til it's gone
n' I say I got
One empty chair
