Lyrics:

Don’t try to make yourself remember, darling
Don’t look for me, I’m just a story you’ve been told
So let’s pretend a little longer
Cause when we’re gone,
Everything goes on

Well, you were staring at the window
And I said, “I’ll just bring the sea to you”

But if I was gone tomorrow,
Won’t the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I’m happy,
As we pass the setting sun?
Someday I’ll be overcast,
But you won’t have to cry -
Cause we’ll do the grieving
While I’m by your side
I said:

Don’t try to make yourself remember, darling
Don’t look for me, I’m just a story you’ve been told
So let’s pretend a little longer
Cause when we’re gone,
Everything goes on

And I’m so scared of getting used to this
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room
Said, "I’m sorry that you worried"
But don’t apologize
I told you to forget me
But you stayed by my side
When I said:

"Don’t try to make yourself remember, darling
Don’t look for me, I’m just a story you’ve been told"
So let’s pretend a little longer
And when we’re gone,
Everything goes on

This song and the Wild Rift Star Guardian event happened the day before my mom first got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and she passed away last night. I often played this song throughout the year-long battle, but now there is peace. This morning was a rainy mess, but there was sunshine in the afternoon. I like to think it was her. This song will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️

"We'll do the grieving while I'm by your side" is a line that really hit me. My brother has been in and out of the hospital these last couple of weeks in pretty serious condition. In other words I didn't know if he was going to die and tbh I still don't know. I have more faith now than I did but things are pretty bad still. So that said, I have been going through the grieving process while he is still "by my side". This song though is helping me with that grief. While I'll be heart broken if he does pass this song reminds me that life will continue on. *Edit: my brother is out of the hospital and well. 🙂 Honestly this song amongst other things have really helped me turn things around and life is going pretty fantastic at the moment. *

can't stop listening this song since it released

[randallvargas]

On July 18 I lost my mother to Alzheimer's disease and this song speaks to me in many ways. Thank you, Porter, for helping me get through the toughest moment in my life.

[フェイリス-dl]

Probably the most beautifully crafted song I've ever heard of Porter's. The way he sings, the way he writes such beautiful melodies and lyrics and climaxing it with his unique Drum and Bass performance is something out of this world.

[kennyllcosmicvectro]

A lot of Porter's songs are about learning how to move on in life. I really appreciate it because I'm always going through hard times but his songs are what keeping me going.

I know this isn't technically a Nurture song, but it feels so nurture aesthetically (and I fell in love with that album's feel and aesthetic) that I personally consider this a Nurture track, along with extras like Fullmoon Lullaby and Musician part 2

[occultwife.]

You wrote, "Will you meet me in the daylight like we did before?
Then I felt you on my shoulder, and you weren't suffering anymore"

for a grieving heart.. thank you. This lyric always brings me to tears

[sjatar_]

Man crossing over "Suffering" at 2:40 is such a small but strong imagery. I never realized that "you weren't anymore" could also mean "you weren't suffering anymore". The small changes to lyrics you see really gives another dimension to the song and the emotions it is trying to convey.

[lethalcortexmusic]

My mom passed a couple days ago. This song hits different. Please tell someone you love them today.

[AidanChickTV]

Porter is one of the few artists who can make me cry with their music

[startailchu]

My dad just passed away unexpectedly two days ago at night after our family having fun in a beach.. It was all great until he suddenly have trouble breathing at night while getting ready to bed and passed away on the way to the hospital.
Now the lyrics "I wanna take you to the sea. And when I'm better we'll do everything. I gotta stop making promises I can't keep." hit very hard..

[MrBaumGeo]

Every Porter Robinson song is an instant classic :)

[Crimson_]

2 years and I still come back to this song TwT

[artexius]

"cause when we're gone, everything goes on"

I just can't imagine dying and one day everyone would forget about you.. The World would move forward without you.

[Jayeden]

I can't get over how good Porter is at making a song feel so blissful/wishful but heartbreaking/emotional at the same time.

[marlonese]

Been blasting this song on repeat ever since it released. Makes work a lot more fun ♥

[updool]

When i always hear this song, i would always envision one day of the passing of my mother and oh boy, tears keep running non-stop.

[Lyrics]

Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone
Everything goes on
Well, you were staring at the window
And I said, "I wanna take you to the sea"
And when I'm better, we'll do everything
I gotta stop making promises I can't keep
But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Someday I'll be overcast, but you won't have to cry
'Cause we'll do the grieving while I'm by your side
I said
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone
Everything goes on
And I'm so scared of getting used to this
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room
Someday both of us are leaving here
But for now, I'll just bring to the sea to you, ooh
When you meet me in the daylight like we did before
Then I felt you on my shoulder, and you weren't suffering anymore
You said, "I'm sorry that you worry, but don't apologize"
I told you to forget me, but you stayed by my side
When I said
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
And when we're gone, ah
Everything goes on

[ruthiewitter]

“I will bring the sea to you.” I broke down sobbing inconsolably. This is so dear to me. Thank you. So much.
