really touching lyric, reminds me a bit of 'Try Not to Breathe' by REM where the character in the song is an old man wanting his life to end so all thats left are good memories but this one adds the theme of companionship. I've always been fascinated with relationships that last for a long time and I'm surprised more bands don't write about it. Saying that, I don't many other bands could top this.
