Cover art for A Song for a Lover of Long Ago lyrics by Bon Iver

it's about not being able to let someone go.

"I have buried you Every place I've been You keep ending up In my shaking hands"

he attempts to bury her, everywhere he goes he tries to move on, tries to forget. but she keep ending up back in his hands, back from where he began. she is unburiable. like living, going through the same motions. in vain.

some people just don't leave you.
