I walk the same streets I¡¯ve walked a million times before
|
But now it¡¯s a new thing
|
Having seen what I saw in the war
|
I never thought I would live long enough to see her again
|
It¡¯s only her kiss
|
Could erase how they killed my best friend
|
The tree we climbed as kids
|
The bombing for weeks on end
|
The old swing-set where first kissed
|
A river of bodies tells where we¡¯ve been
|
If I connect these worlds
|
They¡¯ll tear themselves apart
|
And only just this girl
|
Can save this blackened heart
|
So I run up the stairs
|
And open the door
|
To forget more and more...
