lyrics

we are, giving up you know
but even love can't keep me here
even love can't keep you near
sound can, bring me back to when
a time when I was young
enough to shelter love
I find that can't accept
some things that i know i can't change
but you see it's for yourself
can't you see it's for yourself?
you can be so pretty
you make it look so effortless
but when the winds are changing
the world can be so desolate.

Because everything ain't what you are
and giving in ain't gone too far.
you wanna be, you wanna see more?
i won't let the dream die
We're nothing. If not, [we're] alive.
if only i knew you'd be gone.

tell me, who to be, again?
as if my passion is your drug
when what you need is in more love
you are
one
or maybe
none
at all.
again we can't be sure
of what was once so pure.
Once again i wake and,
feel as if you're by my side.
but i'm alone tonight.
and we're alone tonight.
these memories will haunt me,
and i know that they'll haunt you.
and maybe that's alight.
We're dreaming in...
Dreaming in bright light.
