about

Joshua Hyslop's 'The Way You Can' is a reflection on how two people’s paths sometimes merge, and sometimes diverge, and how we’re expected to smile through it all. "This song came from a very deep and honest place. My wife and I were floundering a bit, and trying to hold on, but it was tough. After sitting in that place for a while and finding it hard to function on a basic day to day level I wrote this song."

lyrics

I cannot hear it
The way I did
The silence fully
Encompasses

And it’s overwhelming
I don’t understand
I just can’t hide it
The way you can

There’s something broken
Somewhere within
The more I hold it
The more it slips

And if it’s over well I’ll
Try and understand
But I just can’t hide it
The way you can

Will someone tell me
Is this all there is?
Will someone show me
Where to begin?

I know it happens
That good things end
It’s all around us
Yet unexpected

Still it’s overwhelming
And I can’t just start again
I cannot hide it the way you can
No, I, the way you can
The way you can
