walking on hues
breathing in your cold
story's old now
but the world is new

and it feels so empty without
you here now,
when there's nobody to hold-

the folly is sold now
and all there's left,
is you

and the winter in my arms
scream again,
and i know

pain isn't that far

wandering away
as i reach for the sun
i know the world will
have my heart

it'll have all of you
with nothing to spare

and i'll swallow the same songs
get drunk on the same air,

without you here
and it won't mean a thing
one sin for one more
ever more, and for everything

and yeah, i will cry
when it's gets cold

but i'll be glad because
you left me that could
mean something,

and i'm still here in,
living in these whispers
not ready to let go by

the only love
i've ever known
the only forest
that was grown


every time you smiled for me,
to me, there was a seed sown

and now it's growing high,
orphaned, and i wonder often

if i would still feel
what i did, when i lost
myself in your arms,

or have i forgotten,
and there's only an ocean
with nothing inside
to keep it warm

and i've drowned
in my own sorrow

and now all around me
i feel the still, the stir-
of the hollow,

i see the shadow
of your shelter

and i can't find-

but i remember,
what it felt to be so warm
in your arms, that time-

and somehow everything
is better, when you're playing
on my mind,

and the rains
don't feel as beautiful
as they used to

here on the outside,
without you

and don't you hear me scream,
how far away are you ?


but how far is enough,
for the world to fade  
before i stop breathing,
in every breath you take ?

is this world ever going
to be enough to keep
you away

from ever wandering in
my mind ?

is there a way,
from where i am-
straight to you

and to a world
where you still smile for me,
to me, a world that is kind-


and now when i look
in the mirror,
there's not a whisper of you
and i wish i was blind,


you made me see,
what it felt to be on the ground
and feel like flying,

to be corny, and somehow
everything was fine,
around you-


around you it never felt lonely,
but i forgot i was never
the only one.
