Issues - Disappear (Remember When)

Remember when I didn't need you
Well I need you now
To hold my head up high say it's all better child
Remember when

Some days I feel like a saint, I'm so alive
Some days I can't make any moves
It's like I have no spine
Can't do anything right
And when midnight comes I've run out of time to
Make some kind of difference
But I realize I constantly overlook the impact I've made
Maybe I'm longing to change my own face
To make you proud, I wanna make you proud
When you're looking down on me

My mind's wide open like starry skies
I ask God questions and wonder why
The hell that you're not here
I wanna disappear with you now

But I'm a selfish broken heart and how I got this far
Coping with the thought of holding you a minute longer in my arms is beyond me
I set you free, but I feel so guilty cause
I take every sunrise for granted
Sometimes I forget your voice I can't stand it
Am I wrong for moving on

A product of a free world
Take wing over the coast of a better day
I'm stuck in my dark days
But I can be stronger than you remember
We're coming up on December, but I'm not cold

My mind's wide open like starry skies
I ask God questions and wonder why
The hell that you're not here
I wanna disappear with you now

But I'm a selfish broken heart
I wanna see what you see
I wanna be where you are

My mind's wide open like starry skies
I ask God questions and wonder why
The hell that you're not here
I wanna disappear with you now

Remember when I didn't need you
Well I need you now
To hold my head up high say it's all better child
Remember when I was alone and crying out
You will be missed
But I know youre all better now
REPEAT

For people that don't know the meaning behind this song it's about his Childhood sweetheart, best friend and singing partner that was killed by a drunk driver. He wanted to show his feeling through this song. You can actually hear him start to break down in the chorus near the end. So yeah, for the people that say "This song is crap, they should have added the bits at the end". Just imagine going through something like that. And if you have i'm sorry but this is his way of dealing with it.

I don't understand why this wasn't a single, it's one of their best songs...

[Markthanan]

I lost my father to suicide...and I had to live through that night, finding him in his room...I can't sleep anymore at night because I relive it every single night. I'm 20 years old and I don't have anymore motivation to do anything.

I just want people to know that I may not know any of you, but I wish all of you the best and I really am sorry for your losses, if I could go through what I did, for everyone else, so no one would live through this I swear I would.

I don't want anyone to go through the pain I feel. This song helps me every day to try and find a way to keep going, this BAND is what has saved me from doing things I'd regret. 

If anyone feels like they want to talk about anything at all, feel free to send me a message. I know I've wanted someone to talk to sometimes when no one is there....and I want to be there for someone, because I know how it feels.

[SalSandster]

This song needs a music video! Who agrees?

[mariaramierez]

The story behind this song is really sad. You should listen to the acoustic version..Tyler cries and I lost it. It's about his high school sweetheart who was killed by a drunk driver. It sucks but the song is great and touching. I love Tyler more than anyone.

When Issues played this at the Journey's Noise Tour, I cried because they dedicated the song to whoever lost a loved one

[janahnabor]

i used to vibe with this song years ago when it was released. rocking the shit out of me. i was young.
just this last year's end, my father died. then i remembered this song, listened to it again. lyrics aint the same anymore. they stab now and i hurt so bad. i miss my dad.
i miss you, dade. please hug me as i fall asleep tonight. wipe my tears away like you always did.

[kiliabgonzalez]

That high note when he says "disappear" is just amazingness

[dzno]

This ending is so powerful. I'm in love with this album, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO END SO EMOTIONALLY :'(

[Namjoon]

7 years later and I still somehow always find my way back to this song. I love it

[amiriqbalfaizal]

My grandmother just died today. This song reminds me so much of the good memories we had. Miss her so much.

[MysticPhonk-cprc]

Lots of personal stories here on the comments thread, I lost my parents before i reached ten so I can understand loss pretty well. It hurts like hell and usually lasts a lifetime. Im glad to see everyone here is supportive and loving, its easy to forget people can sincere anymore.

[showroomzcustoms]

That part "I wanna make you proud, when your looking down on me" That part really gets to me. Love this song Love issues.

[TheTMan]

I love the gospel element to this song, truly a great album.

[andrewcausak]

this is such an underrated song, not only because of the production of the song itself, but the message it gives is so powerful, at least to me. tyler carter is such a talented and meaningful lyricist, and I just love the way he portrays his art.

[marquismentor]

dear God 1:54 to 2:00 simply amazing ... tyler can riff the shit out of anything

[xxAmbiexBiersack]

This song is on repeat my friend just died yesterday it's sucks how things like this happen

[xXemogurlXx]

FINALLY THEY RELEASED IT! It's been stuck in my head and I've been listening to it on repeat forever

[sailinginspace]

I lost my dad when I was 9 and this song sums up alot of emotions I have alot of the time. Everyone has issues and its great that this band recognizes that music and unity can help us get past them, or at least accept them for what they are.

[Jep_productions]

This song is gotta be so incredible live. I feel so bad for Tyler and what he went through and what I feel this song might be about. I would be so lost. He's so strong.
