When the Family Flies In Lyrics
I was sitting in my Corolla
Talking to you while my friends drank inside
There was a silence, weak telephone reception
Doesn't compliment a dark state of mind
You know it's bad when the family flies in
Working bees back to the hive
You know it's bad when the family flies in
Just to stand by your side
Oh, the last thing that I sent to you
Was an irrelevant music video
And I'll always wonder if you ever watched it
Thought you had longer to go
You know it's bad when the family flies in
Working bees back to the hive
You know it's bad when the family flies in
Just to stand by your side, oh
Well goodbye
Well goodbye
Talking to you while my friends drank inside
There was a silence, weak telephone reception
Doesn't compliment a dark state of mind
Working bees back to the hive
You know it's bad when the family flies in
Just to stand by your side
Was an irrelevant music video
And I'll always wonder if you ever watched it
Thought you had longer to go
Working bees back to the hive
You know it's bad when the family flies in
Just to stand by your side, oh
Well goodbye

She recounts her last interactions with the person.
"Thought you had longer to go" - She somewhat expected it, so it's either someone ill or the in later stages of life?
