“Vanishing Lessons” is the seventh track on Cold Holiday’s 2020 album “Previously,” and was originally track eight on the 1994 album “Chapternext” by Streetcar.

I never made you
Try to understand me
You never tried to
Figure out what was happening

I guess you worked it out
Everything was going on
Everything was going wrong
But you had already gone

Somehow it just wouldn’t be the same

Plans we were making
They came down crashing
When I saw you vanish
I still saw you laughing

I saw it coming
Fighting it again
Walking around it
Telling it off, it was so telling

Somehow it just wouldn’t be the same

I’m ready

If you’d seen it
It’s on the table
Did you win your battle?
I see you’re still laughing

I’m ready
