Things That Disappear Lyrics
There was talk
At the time
She’d forgotten her senses
She was running round and carrying on
They were wrong
But of course
She had her faculties on
And she was honor of the carrying on
She don’t wander anymore
Cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
She’s got blood
She’s got eyes
She’s got a voice in her head
And she listens every once in a while
She don’t wander anymore
Cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
Is that all
Yes it is
Put her stuff in a box
And put her matter her memory
Now he’s gone
And away
Well he will never be
Out of her misery
She don’t wander anymore
Cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
At the time
She’d forgotten her senses
She was running round and carrying on
They were wrong
But of course
She had her faculties on
And she was honor of the carrying on
Cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
She’s got eyes
She’s got a voice in her head
And she listens every once in a while
Cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
Yes it is
Put her stuff in a box
And put her matter her memory
Now he’s gone
And away
Well he will never be
Out of her misery
Cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird
But all of these things here
Are things that disappear

I think the song is about an idealist and the belief in the impermanence of love. That's why it sounds weird, because most people in love think it will last forever - but it changes and with that change comes complexity and the woman in the song doesn't seem to have the emotional capacity to deal with it so she moves on when things get heavy. She thinks she has love figured out hence the: "she don't WONDER anymore" line. Love to her is for the moment like a sunset, rainbow or flower.
I'm not sure the lines "And she was honor of the carrying on" and "And put her matter her memory" are correct. that's just what it sounded like he was singing when I listened to the song.
the correct lines are -"and she was honorably carrying on" -"and put him out of her memory" i love this song, makes me sad, it's about the permanence of love i believe and how everything else doesn't really matter, it makes me sad, it sound like leaving.
