She's mostly gone
Some other place
I'm getting by
In other ways
Everything they whispered in our ear
Is coming true
Try to justify the things I used to do
Believe in you

Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
I am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Have finally arrived
I am staying right beside you

I tried to stay away
Just in case
I've come to realize
We all have our place
Time, time has a way, you know
To make it clear
And I have my role in this, I can't disappear
Or leave you here

Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And I am here right beside you
The lights in the sky are waving goodbye
And I am staying right beside you

My own interpretation here is that this is about losing someone you care about to something like dementia or Alzheimer's. They aren't really gone but they aren't really here either, and you stay with them despite, in a way, having already lost them. You hope that maybe they will come back to you, and maybe you realize eventually that they aren't going to, but you still stay with them because it's the only thing you can do.
