can we make it home?
the nights are getting harder
you’re still so far away
how can it be
i feel you here beside me
you’re still so far away
Trace the Stars
can we make it home?
the nights are getting harder
you’re still so far away
how can it be
i feel you here beside me
you’re still so far away
how did this so easily come undone?
why are we so quick to let go
of the things we love?
if you still felt the same
what took your words away?
or is this just a game you play??
i’ve learned to recognize
such a thinly-veiled disguise
i see the truth in your eyes
you said it’d be the last time
just one more night
clinging to the past I’ll just hold on tight
can I trust a single word you’ll say tonight??
while I try and try to get you off my mind
if this is what it takes
I’ll make the same mistakes
for one last chance to crumble in your hands
sometimes I lie awake
still torn by decisions that we made
to leave us with some space
were they just mistakes?
open your eyes
after a while
we all stop dreaming
now you’re leaving
crushing words and empty sighs
desperation taking hold inside
i’m barely alive
searching for that place
where the light fades
into a sea of gray
take me away
to the days we pushed aside
when we said goodbye
regrets of wasted sunsets
were you ever mine?
my downcast eyes
ignoring every sign
pretending not to know
you already let me go
i thought you’d never come back
i thought those days were left behind
always one step out of reach
every single day, a fading memory
you’re here beside me
these things don’t last
you’re fading quickly
this never lasts
time was never on our side
never getting too close
but never pushing away
i still dont know where we stand
but youre always on my mind
the years have been so good to you
I almost wish it wasn’t true
the girl behind the sleepless nights
still shining through
it’s clear to see we never change
it bleeds through every word you say
so why is it so hard to walk away?
i can’t take back all the years you stole
i just can’t…
fighting with the memories taking hold
i’ve gotta let this go
when we’re side by side
your words and eyes
are so misguiding
it takes it’s toll inside
I’ve tried and tried
but I can’t hide it
it’s not the way it should be
youre taking the best of me
and I can’t find a way to start to
get you off my mind
the words that you say
all fade away
were running faster
and still going nowhere
passed the chance
to cut through ties and walk away
a chance for the both of us to save face
inside my head
i fight with your words
but mostly myself
another battle lost
i’m sick of the lies
days spent avoiding your eyes
running from things that would make this real
losing sleep sorting out how i feel
so quickly cast aside by everything she used to love. she’s forgotten the sound of her own voice. loneliness becomes relief. nights by candlelight, and the shimmer of a thousand eyes. lost souls that gave up long ago, and wander lost in time. the gentle wind whispers “you’re not like them”…”you don’t have to be”. colors run down painted portraits, and blur the memories. the darkness holds her tight, swallows each star in the sky. she clings to memories of brighter nights and waits for sunrise.
((nothing can save this now))
when I said forever
I swear I meant it
((and now how the time flies by))
((as I fall into your eyes))
this one last time
you left as the walls caved in
now we’re broken down
as this story comes unbound
((the memories fade away))
as you burn us to the ground
((i tried to forget that night))
you said you loved me
I swallowed all my pride
((but now how the time flies by))
with you right here by my side
for one more night
can’t we give us one last try??
I still can’t let you go
are we just on borrowed time??
baby, let me know…
i think back to those days
and cling to every word you say
but they’re only memories
can’t we give us one last try??
are we just on borrowed time??
years have come and gone
why cant we meet eyes with each other?
things wont ever change
we don’t speak with one another
it wasn’t always this way
even when things fell apart
both so broken inside
holding on to a time
a time we felt alive
her eyes shined so bright
now they’re sensitive to light
and hard to recognize
deeper lies and darker eyes
your light has died so cold inside
we found ourselves that stormy night
but lost the way in time
i wanna go back to those days sometimes
i’ll weather sleepless nights
side by side under the sky
things like this still pass me by
