Idlewild Lyrics
"Not Just Sometimes but Always"

There is a long forgotten voice
I know it's not your voice
'Cause it's always strained
I wake up hearing unfamiliar voices
Convinced they're trying to explain
That if my words were clearer
Then maybe I would know what I'm trying to say
Just as those long forgotten voices
Disappear back into rain

If I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me try
I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me feel more alive

Not just sometimes but always
I know what I know
I know what I know
I know what I know

I tune the radio
To drown out these voices I don't know
And suddenly an empty house
It almost fills up with home
There are days and nights
When I don't need to close my eyes
And they feel as real to me
Like an elegy in disguise

If I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me try
I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me feel more alive

Not just sometimes but always
I know what I know
I know what I know
I know what I know
