In the time we've known
|
That we each are a part of one another
|
We've lost as much as we have won
|
And as our lives have grown
|
We have found that it only brings us pain
|
That hangs on to the things that we have done
|
Still I've loved the times you've come
|
|
When you went away
|
Taking all that I'd built my false road on
|
I dropped my life and couldn't find the pieces
|
Now you come and go
|
And it's hard but I feel my strength returning
|
We'll see how far this new road reaches
|
We'll see a little more each time we come
|
|
Now everybody's gonna tell you it's not worth it
|
Everybody's gotta show you their own thing
|
You might try to find your way up around it
|
But the need for love will still remain
|
|
Now we're lying here
|
So safe in the ruins of our pleasures
|
Laughter marks the place where we have fallen
|
And our lives are near
|
So it wouldn't occur to us to wonder
|
Is this the past or the future that is calling
|
|
You know I've loved these times you've come.
