lyrics

My grandma passed away
Five year ago today
And I’m wondering what she’d say
Of the way that I’ve lived
And of all the things that I've done
In my time since that day
Oh I’m wondering what she’d say
If she were here today

Well I went to a university
In Germany
Away from the family
To study psychology
And I learned so very much
About the way that people act
Oh I’m thinking that grandma
She’d be happy about that

Then I fell in love
With a woman from school
After a few years we grew apart
As some couples do
So then I left her
Or maybe she left me
Love can be a scary thing
Grandma, I know you'd agree

(Interlude)

Sometimes on the weekend
I’ll go and see some friends
Maybe drive to a cabin
A cabin in the woods
Where our love and our laughter
Meet the stillness of nature
And the sun that shone on you
Shines on me too

Remember when we drank tea
And discussed Socrates?
Well it sparked something in me
Cause now I’m getting my PhD
And they’ll publish one of my papers
By the end of the semester
And it’s about the life
Of that famous philosopher

But sometimes my mood gets low
And my work goes slow
It’s when the winds blow
They blow me off
Of the path that you set me on
And away from who I am
It’s times like these I wish
That you could set me straight again

(interlude)

Well my grandma passed away
It was five years ago today
And she’d be proud I’d say
Of the way that I’ve lived
And of most of the things that I’ve done
In my time since that day
Still I’m wondering what she’d say
If she were here today
