A moment shared,
our eyes meet
but mine turn to the floor.
They tell secrets
that you should never know.
A tunnel to my soul
and the emptiness it contains.

verse:
Do you remember
when we felt alive?
There was so much to live for,
so little to die for.
You'd spin me round and round,
the wind blowing my hair,
without so much as a care
or a concern...for tomorrow.

Chorus:
Because our hearts were bigger
than the stars thought they could be.
Don't you know they lay out at night
staring down at you and me.

We could take this on together
and let out a silent scream.
Not even the wind will pick it up,
was this all just in a dream?

Verse:
Hanging out in parking lots,
I'd get a running start into your arms.
The night was ours,
we were as invincible as ever could be.
You said come on, come on
come a little closer.
We'll reach our hands up to the sky
and pretend that nothing can touch us.

Chorus

But enough of those hey remember whens,
because this is now and that was then.
I believe in the you and me that was real,
grab my hand and you'll know just how I feel.
Looking back on last year,
it comes back to me so clear.
And you know I've never been insincere...
in all the time we had together
and all that we've had apart.

Don't feel left behind.
I'm writing this letter to you
from a lonelier place than you've ever seen.
But maybe when you read this
a smile will creep up on your face,
and you'll go back to a better place, a better time
when breathing was easier
and the air wasn't so thick.
A time of snowflakes decorating your nose
and laughter that was sure to follow.
You would look at me
with those dark eyes of yours,
wide as can be.
And I'd lose myself in the movie scene.
Nothing could possibly intervene.

This city gets cold at night,
and I said, "won't you meet me halfway"
at the place where the streetlights hug the sky
and the stars kiss the buildings below them.
I'm wide awake and saying goodbye to tomorrow,
because you know I'm in dire straits now.
These scars are something more
than borrowed from you.
Only divine intervention can save me now,
but I refuse to believe.

You can have the best of me,
if only for a moment or two.
I have somewhere to be,
I have someone to do.

You have to try to understand
that what you are
is killing me.
This room is heating up,
my blood's like mercury rising in my veins.
This wouldn't be so hard
if you were an unfamiliar face.

But my daddy's rolling over in his grave
at the thought of me
standing here across from you.
I'm shaking at your touch,
and you suck me in.
I was never
good at leaving you behind.
