I can still feel the trace of your arms wrapped around me I can still feel your warmth like you’re near. And I know it’s my fault, so please, don’t remind me I know I’m the reason you’re not here So I tried to play it all back again Because it’s so much better back when we can Dance in front of many people Pretend they aren’t there Or act like we don’t care Hold hands wherever we go And whisper to each other things nobody knows These things are just imprints And they’re bound to fade They’ll crumble to ashes Like they were never made But these little things Imprints they might be They have a way Yes they have a way to stay I can still hear your voice and the things that you said When we were lying on my rickety bed. You said this time tomorrow this will be our past And since we can’t stay here let’s just make it last But still I try to play it all back again Because I am much happier back when I can Laugh at your silly jokes While tracing odd patterns On clouds and on smokes Sing when you play your guitar Or when we’re driving around town in your car These things are just imprints But they’re what I hold on to They are proof to me That once I had you And I’m placing my faith On these little things To have a way To find a way to stay I can still hear your laugh While secretly wondering about the life we could’ve had I can still see your face And I’m wishing it’s somethings that time could not erase But now you’re nothing but an imprint And you’re bound to fade Like a crumbling sand castle Like the memories we made.

I can still feel the trace of your arms wrapped around me I can still feel your warmth like you’re near.
