Song Meaning
One date on the calendar gets its own song here. Friends know not to expect a call back on it, tears fall "like a summer rain," and the singer heads out walking, "thinking and crying / And praying and trying / To make sense / Of what don't make sense in this life." The refrain stays on that last line, which keeps the grief honest rather than tidy.
A second verse widens the frame. Life has moved on, with songs sung from a different stage every night, yet she still wonders whether the person she lost is "looking down" and proud of her. Heaven appears only as a question and a hope, never as a neat answer, and the bridge reduces everything to "I miss you."
Comfort stays at arm's length while the song plays, but the prayers inside it lean on the promise of Psalm 34:18, that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and on the day Revelation 21:4 says every tear will be wiped away. The last lines return to "just me and you" on the seventh of June.

[Verse 1]
My friends, they know I won't pick up if they call me
One day a year
And that one day is here
My tears just like a summer rain are falling
It's just what they do
When I start missing you
[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you have to go
Why'd I have to stay
When's it gonna get easier
To make it through the day
[Chorus]
I go out walking
I ain't much for talking
Just thinking and crying
And praying and trying
To make sense
Of what don't make sense in this life
Like why you're up there
And not here by my side
They say it's gonna get easier
And I want to believe that's true
It's just harder on the seventh of June
[Verse 2]
I've been singing songs ever since the day you left me
Crazy how my life has changed
Every night a different stage
And sometimes it feels like you and God are watching
Are you looking down on me
I wonder if you're proud of me
[Chorus]
I go out walking
I ain't much for talking
Just thinking and crying
And praying and trying
To make sense
Of what don't make sense in this life
Like why you're up there
And not here by my side
They say it's gonna get easier
And I want to believe that's true
It's just harder on the seventh of June
[Bridge]
Oh I miss you
I miss you
[Chorus]
I go out walking
I ain't much for talking
Just thinking and crying
And praying and trying
To make sense
Of what don't make sense in this life
Like why you're up there
And not here by my side
They say it's gonna get easier
And I want to believe that's true
It's just harder
It's just harder on the seventh of June
[Outro]
My friends, they know I won't pick up if they call me
On the seventh of June
It's just me and you
