I fell in love with the sound of the river So I swam in love with the current pushing me away I just wanted to fall in love, I loved the sound of it all, didn’t I? I was so far away before I found rock bottom And through the trees all I could see…
In your absence, I’ve finally become fond of myself again In Your Absence A place in the heart, May forever be A place where our love was All of the nights gone by won’t be the forgotten ones Exposed, Cold lies to the truth A forgotten face, Forgot how to live in this broken place…
I walked these streets, Looking for the cracks I tripped on as a kid To find it’s all been replaced It’s what we’ve been moving on Unfamiliar sounds of ghosts I said I was never scared, Never free Body plays host I don’t recognize you anymore Now I just see a shadow, with a frame…
She doesn’t see past his sun bright eyes, The mirror in all reflections shines the light So don’t tell her why I’m passing by The winter snows I chase in the night Miracles aren’t supposed to just happen, Explain to me why you are my lesson So don’t find the fog in the bay, These…
