Talking about the story behind Atomic, For Now, and Heaven Ends at Farewell.
Lyrics
Atomic
The house is up for sale. boxes packed with memories
I hold onto the rail to keep from falling
Back into a time when at least we could pretend
That everything was fine, now we’re watching
This come to an end like it should have
Years before the love went and turned bad
No one’s in the ground but something’s dying
If I said I was surprised I would be lying
Even if I could I wouldn’t stop it
There’s nothing like a family that’s atomic
Atomic, atomic, atomic
I ventured on my own trying not to repeat
The pattern learned at home, then I met him
A man who’s only kind, the type of love I didn’t believe
That I could ever find, it makes me wonder
If they know that there was something better
Would they even ever been together?
No one’s in the ground but something’s dying
If I said I was surprised I would be lying
Even if I could I wouldn’t stop it
There’s nothing like a family that’s atomic
Atomic, atomic, atomic
Now the only life I know is gone
I want to but I don’t want to move on
No one’s in the ground but something’s dying
If I said I was surprised I would be lying
Even if I could I wouldn’t stop it
There’s nothing like a family that’s atomic
Atomic, atomic, atomic
Now I know that love can be patient
I have a chance, God I will not waste it
If we decide someday that we want it
We will be beautifully atomic

Heaven Ends At Farewell
There was a moment my dreams came true
Once in a lifetime when I met you
It was only a moment but I still knew
I was forever changed the day that my heart grew
Tell me how do I go to sleep at night
Knowing that my whole world is outside of myself
Tell me why I cry thinking about when I die
Not being by your side would feel like hell
Heaven ends at our farewell, heaven ends at our farewell
I never knew someday I’d feel like this
Like a hundred years of love live in your kiss
Maybe one day I can explain
How I’ve waited my whole life to know your name
Tell me how do I go to sleep at night
Knowing that my whole world is outside of myself
Tell me why I cry thinking about when I die
Not being by your side would feel like hell
Heaven ends at our farewell, heaven ends at our farewell
Tell me how do I go to sleep at night
Knowing that my whole world is outside of myself
Tell me why I cry thinking about when I die
Not being by your side would feel like hell
Heaven ends at our farewell, heaven ends at our farewell
For Now
We found you on the ledge again
But this aint where the road is going to end
Save your reasons and your goodbyes
It’s ok to cry, it’s ok to cry
This is not the day we’ll say that we remember when
You lost your way we didn’t stay and then we lost a friend
I can feel the pain that lives behind your eyes
It’s ok to cry it’s ok to cry
But it’s not over, it’s almost getting good
One step at a time and you’ll look back at where you stood
When you’re older and life has shown you how
Nothing ever lasts forever, this is only just for now
The sun is going to rise and the night will disappear
Even when it hurts we will still be here
The world’s a scary place but you’re not alone
And I want you to know, I want you to know
The waves of pain you’re drowning in will subside
Coming up for air you’ll see a little light
You’re longing to escape but feel there’s nowhere to go
Trust me I would know, trust me I would know
But it’s not over, it’s almost getting good
One step at a time and you’ll look back at where you stood
When you’re older and life has shown you how
Nothing ever lasts forever, this is only just for now
Cause when it’s over and your time has finally come
You’ll cherish all the memories the things you’ve seen and done
You’ll be older and will take your final bow
Wishing life could last forever, but it’s only just for now
