Hasn’t Hit Me Yet Lyrics
You say that you're leaving
Well, that comes as no surprise
Still, I kinda like this feeling
Of being left behind
This ain't nothing new to me
Well, it's just like going home
It's kinda like those sunsets
That leave you feeling so stoned
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet
I fell through this crack and I kinda lost my head
I stand transfixed before this streetlight
Watching the snow fall on this cold December night
[Verse 2]
Never thought this could happen
But somehow the feeling's gone
You got sick of the pattern
And I got lost in this song
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet
I fell through this crack and I kinda lost my head
I stand transfixed before this streetlight
Watching the snow fall on this cold December night
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet
I fell through this crack and I kinda lost my head
I stand transfixed before this streetlight
Watching the snow fall on this cold December night
And out in the middle of Lake Ontario
[Outro]
The same snow is falling (the same snow is falling)
On the deep silent water (on the deep silent water)
The great dark wonder
Into the waves of my heart
Into the waves of my heart
Of my heart
Ooh ooh ooh

At the end of a relationship, when you find yourself alone… there’s the sort of pain and despair that goes along with it, but there’s also the sort of pleasantness about it, whatever that is… the return of solitude which can be quite joyful at times… I was walking around Port Hope… I had about ¾ of the song finished, and there’s just something nice about being in that state of mind when you’re in the middle of writing and a song and everything is sort of contained into writing that song… I was just walking around Port Hope… and the snow started to fall and we got this sort of shared Canadian experience of watching snow fall through and by a streetlight, and there’s a certain calm and connectedness that goes along with it… And I was just standing there in Port Hope… watching the snow fall… feeling connected and just thinking about the same snow falling out in the middle of Lake ontario.
