Well I’ve been staring a hole in the sky,
I keep wasting my time wondering,
Of all the places I could be,
I am not,
Who I was, in the dreams,
We dare to dream when we are young,
One day, we wake up and we become,
Something different.
We are the sums of our decisions,
The fruit of our ambitions,
A grain of sand a drop in the ocean,
Oh, what a trying notion.
Lately these days I cant help but get this feeling I am sinking,
And the ground beneath my feet, I think, is starting to believe me,
I try to run but I don’t know how,
All my thoughts are made of doubt,
And the silence steals the words from my mouth,
I guess I have not been myself for some while now.
Oh my life, my love, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
My heart is strong, but my will is wearing weary,
I’m leaving, come morning,
I said I’m leaving, come morning,
I’ll be gone.
It wont be long, till I belong.
Well I’ve been pacing this tile for a while now,
I keep wasting my time wondering,
Why some hearts beat harder,
And two can love in so many different ways,
Or you can love just one your whole life long,
When they don’t feel the same,
Love, I’m only asking,
If it’s funny then why aren't you laughing?
Love, I’m only asking,
Oh my life, my love, I am sorry,
I am sorry,
For the things I have said and I have done,
See, all my life I’ve hurt the ones,
See, all my life I’ve hurt the ones I love,
But it was not my intention.
And the wolves keep showing their teeth at me,
And the Holy Ghost is keeping close,
He says the love will come, but it won’t come easy.
And I can't help but think,
There must be something I am missing,
See when I lay my head to sleep, a voice inside keeps whispering,
He says, are you where you want to be?
Are you where you want to be?
Are you where you’re wanting now to go?
No?
Oh this heavy heart is missing you around,
It’s missing you around.
But I won't let it weigh me down.
Oh this heavy heart is missing you around,
It’s missing you around.
But I won't let it weigh me down.
And oh, this time is taking its time on me,
Its time on me.
See, when I lay my head to sleep, a voice inside keeps whispering,
He says are you where you want to be?
Are you where you want to be?
You see, the love will come, but it won’t come easy.

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
