| Every summer leads to fall
|
| And we give our hearts
|
| Hoping there’s no chain of consequence
|
| And there’s nothing I can do
|
| To change my past mistakes
|
| That built up these barriers between us
|
| I know the truth is something we can’t run from
|
| But I know you do your best
|
| I feel you running every day
|
| So many things you don’t want to believe in
|
| And all I’m left with knowing
|
| Is eventually, love kills us all
|
| Seems so strange to think of
|
| A time before we met
|
| Before I knew the meaning
|
| Of love or of regret
|
| You’re hiding, I’m searching
|
| I’m holding out my heart for you to take
|
| I’m losing, but I’m fighting
|
| Because I know our future is at stake
|
| Can you live your life in one day
|
| Cause I don’t know what more I’ve got to offer
|
| A transient connection
|
| Just a flash and then it’s gone
|
| And only I remain
|
| Snow fell on the platform
|
| Of that train on Boxing Day
|
| Falling into your arms
|
| Is where I’d hoped to stay
|
| Your heart protected
|
| And I’ve got only emptiness inside
|
| Now I’ve lived my life in one day
|
| I don’t know what more I have to wait for
|
| An element reacting
|
| Just a flash and then it’s gone
|
| And only I remain
|
| Something stirred the embers
|
| In this long dead heart
|
| Beautiful and simple
|
| But much too far apart
|
| We only had a moment
|
| But this I know is true:
|
| If you close your eyes — remember it
|
| I’ll be there with you
|
| Won’t you take my hand for just one day
|
| I’ll give you everything I’ve got to offer
|
| A transient reaction
|
| Just a flash and then it’s gone
|
| A solitary moment
|
| But the memory still lingers on
|
| And I would go through anything
|
| Just to feel that way again
|
| To live my life in just one day |
