You Won’t Remember... Lyrics
He sees you more than you could know
In his chair at night, he can’t clear his mind
Silence hurts, no-distractions-ache
Then he gets the call and he drives for miles
You won’t remember but he wanted you
He’d like to tell you that he wanted you
He sees you but you don’t see him
In your bed at night, in your line of sight
Silence sings and his ears will ring
With that final bleep, he can’t fall to sleep
You won’t remember but he wanted you
He’d like to tell you that you’re haunting him.
In his chair at night, he can’t clear his mind
Silence hurts, no-distractions-ache
Then he gets the call and he drives for miles
You won’t remember but he wanted you
He’d like to tell you that he wanted you
In your bed at night, in your line of sight
Silence sings and his ears will ring
With that final bleep, he can’t fall to sleep
You won’t remember but he wanted you
He’d like to tell you that you’re haunting him.

Unbelievable song, easily my favorite by him. I feel like it could mean a lot of things (and that's probably what he intended), but when I first read the lyrics I immediately thought of a loved one in an accident of some kind.
"In his chair at night, he can’t clear his mind" Waiting for someone to arrive who's running late
"Silence hurts, no-distractions-ache Then he gets the call and he drives for miles" After waiting in silence, gets the phone call that the loved on is in the hospital and drives miles to get there
"He’d like to tell you that he wanted you" Either he never got the chance to say how he really felt or he wished he had one last chance to say it again
"He sees you but you don’t see him In your bed at night, in your line of sight" In the hospital room, loved one is in bed and can't see him sitting at the side of the bed even though he's right in the line of sight
"Silence sings and his ears will ring With that final bleep, he can’t fall to sleep" Possibly the final "bleep" of a heart monitor before the loved one passes away?
"You won’t remember but he wanted you" Maybe the loved one's long-term memories have been destroyed by the accident and won't be in a state to remember him
"He’d like to tell you that you’re haunting him." :(
Again there's a lot of ways this song could be interpreted, but that was my initial reaction. Keep up the amazing work, Stephen!
