Hey...I have no way left of reaching you now, so... i guess that saying this out loud is the last bit of hope I'm clinging on to.
I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore. I think I need you more than you need me. I want you to know that I'm so, so proud of you. I thought I knew what it meant to have to be strong, but you... you're stronger than I ever was. Some days I still find it hard to believe. Other days my guilty conscience gets the better of me, and the weight of the world crushes any bit of love I had left within me.
I wish I could talk to you one last time. I wish I could make things right. Because it's a cruel world, but you took me away from it all... and I'm so sorry.
There's not a day goes by that I don't find myself staring far out to the horizon and thinking about you, and I can only imagine that this is how the story will continue to unfold for the rest of my life... because I've never loved anyone the way I love you.
Nothing could ever pull you apart from me.

Take me back to boy I was at seventeen
Just to feel again
Not this dream again
I've been walking through the world with your ghost
Trying to hold its hand
Like a loveless man
'cause it's a cruel world
But you took me away from it all
Just like our old friend said
Life's not what it seems
Not at all
When the story has been told
And I'm left out wandering and cold
It's only you that I see
It's only you that can save me
Someone far, far away had a dream
Someone just like me
Ruined by reality
So I'll keep walking through the world 'till I can't no more
Oh, all I ever wanted was you
'cause it's a cruel world
But you took me away from it all
Just like our old friend said
Life's not what it seems
Not at all
When the story has been told
And I'm left out wandering and cold
It's only you that I see
It's only you that can save me
'cause it's a cruel world
But you took me away from it all
Just like our old friend said
Life's not what it seems
Not at all

Can You Hear Me Now?
03:29
|

Can you hear me now?
When I'm far underwater
Is it too soon now?
When I call out your name?
'cause you're always on my mind
What I've wanted all this time
Could this be real?
Thought that I would never feel this way again
But when the heavens open
And I'm drowning under that water
There's a light above me
And she's there with her hands
So I try to understand
What the hell is it I want?
If you're just a dream
And a million memories
Then why do I weep at night?
Oh I've never felt quite right
I gave you all that I had
But It wasn't enough
As I grew older I'd hoped you'd turn to dust
Now I drive across the country with a ghost I've came to know
Yeah, she's sitting right beside me
I just smile and say hello
Can you hear me now?
When I'm far underwater
Is it too soon now
When I call out your name?
'cause you're always on my mind
What I've wanted all this time

You've been running in circles through my mind
I ask myself "what's to find?"
Yet somehow I seem to find you in everything
Everywhere
Down to the seasons
Between the lines
Thought there must be a reason why our lives intertwined
But I just keep on waiting for the moment when the rain starts falling
I don't know what you're going to say
But I'm going to say it anyway
And there's a part of me that knows it
That you're a part of me, too...
You've been running in circles through my mind

I Had A Friend
03:37
|

|
I had a friend
A friend since we were kids
And no matter what I did
He would always have my back
I had a friend
But hidden in the dark
Was an old and troubled heart
That in time would fall apart
Can we talk just one last time?
Heaven can wait just another while
But I know you've gotta go
And you weren't just the only one
Other families cried for their other sons
But I know you gotta go
Don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right
And oh there's nothing more that I can do for you
So don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right...
Now I'm staring
Down upon a grave
Where the man I could not save
Will never see the sky ahead
Oh my brother
You're half the world away
But you're with me everyday
(oh you're with me everyday)
Can we talk just one last time?
Heaven can wait just another while
But I know you've gotta go
And you weren't just the only one
Other families cried for their other sons
But I know gotta go
Don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right
And oh there's nothing more that I can do for you
So don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right...

And though I wanted you
Couldn't always have it all
Now some old friends are gone
Couldn't always help them all
When I fell down
I only wanted you to lift me up
But I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders
Now that I'm older I look back at the way I was
Being younger I thought that I could rule the world
I lost you when I knew I'd lost myself
In time I'll find other ways
And while you slept I fought all the roaring cries of battle
I tore out all of the Earth's grass 'till my cardiac had passed
And I knew then
There Was No Love Left In Me
And then came a world of tears
Now that I'm older I look back at the way I was
Being younger I thought that I could rule the world
I lost you when I knew I'd lost myself
In time I'll find other ways

Watching Her From Afar
03:44
|
|||
|
Suddenly I began imagining I was her man
And the sun on her face
No use remembering the old days
Now that you're not around
And I couldn't save you in the end
Silent eyes crying
While I'm watching her from afar
Silent eyes cry
Watching her from afar
Her story is old and still at play
But I must hurry upon my way
For I'll be running all of my life
I wish I'd married her
But it came to pass
Maybe one day I'll be free from you
Silent eyes crying
While I'm watching her from afar
Silent eyes crying
Watching her from afar

27 Dreams

Why can you never leave my mind?
Why am I always stuck in time?
Take me home
But which way is back?
Thought I'd found it
Already
You escaped along with all of my dreams
My dreams
Dreams
Now I know why
Why can you never leave my mind?
Why am I always stuck in time?
