Nora Lyrics
I went to see my grandma today
I learned the difference between
Living and alive
Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room
Lying there in pain
Praying for the Lord to take her
Nora - I hope it won't be too long for you
Nora - All these years you've been so strong
Nora - I hope you don't mind if I call you Nora
I love you
After leaving her, I turned my life around
I see new life differently
Through the vision of the old
Oh, material things don't mean that muich to me
I guess I learned that I'm just
Glad to be alive and healthy
Nora - All this time that you have known me
Nora - It took your whole life just to show me
Nora - How we take some things for granted
Nora, Nora, Nora, I love you
And though I know there wasn't long to go
Time was something that we shared
And when you died I didn't cry for long
Cause I believe I'll see you again
Nora - I'll see you on the other side
Nora - I'll be the one with swallowed pride
Nora - Are you sure you don't mind if I call you
Nora, Nora, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love ... you
I learned the difference between
Living and alive
Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room
Lying there in pain
Praying for the Lord to take her
Nora - All these years you've been so strong
Nora - I hope you don't mind if I call you Nora
I love you
I see new life differently
Through the vision of the old
Oh, material things don't mean that muich to me
I guess I learned that I'm just
Glad to be alive and healthy
Nora - It took your whole life just to show me
Nora - How we take some things for granted
Nora, Nora, Nora, I love you
Time was something that we shared
And when you died I didn't cry for long
Cause I believe I'll see you again
Nora - I'll be the one with swallowed pride
Nora - Are you sure you don't mind if I call you
Nora, Nora, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love ... you

Beautiful song. Can't believe no one ever commented on it.
I love this song...it is so beautiful. I think that the meaning of it is pretty obviouse. I just don't understand why he's asking if its ok to call her nora...is that her name or does it mean something? It is a beautiful, very emotional song though
Well it is about his grandmother, so I supposed he is asking her if he can call her by her name rather than "grandma". I think everyone who has lost someone severely close to them has gone through similar emotions, pretty easy to relate to.
Mine is a question. If he saw the woman living in squalor, why did he not try to help her. She was elderly and living in a roach infested... room? Could have been her house or some place they put her. Either way doesn't make sense that he didn't try to help the poor old woman.
