The Old Life
I want to bad to look back
To live in that time again
Fifteen years will never be enough
Life pulls me along so fast
A clear voice in my head reminds me
There's not much left besides you
I listened then in darkness
I listen now in fluorescent light
I closed my eyes, waiting for you
That lovely summer of my demise
Though my life was crumbling
Still I was happy next to you
Winter now, I seldom see the stars
I crane my neck in search of solace
I convince myself I'm done as well
To fall asleep for once would be nice
You awoke at my violent shudders
Held me tight as I tried to sleep
What I thought was love glued me back together
Helped me up from my knees
Hopeless, still in love, I find
Only another man in love with another
Hard as I try, I fell for him too
Will this curse never end?
Take me back where its dark as pitch
The stars outshine the city
Take me so far into the woods
So far that I'll never get out
