I laid the cards on the table
And it was a gamble
Ace of hearts, I bet
You treated me like the rest
But I chose to play
And it made you stay

The cards were shuffled
King of hearts,
I am baffled
I drank the wine
And you were drenched in time
You've seen me fall
Broken and bruised

You laid the cards on the table
A second gamble?
Queen of hearts, I bet
My heart is weak
But you started to play
And it made me stay
Jack of hearts,
You knew right from the start
That we already played this part

Let’s get on this train
Beyond the yellow line
We’ll never chase away the time
Our feet, bigger than the world beneath
It’s never too late
Hold my hand
We may never have this chance

In this ride
With you by my side
Scenes outside are changing
But you feel all the same

I look at you
Reason, deeply buried within those eyes

I’ll spread your smile
Across the distant seas
And keep this memory
Framed by overlooking trees
We don’t need to share a word
But we’ll talk about this someday

Your hair still smells like winter

It’s time to get off the train
Beyond the yellow line
There’s never enough time
Our feet, bigger than the world beneath

Pouring rain and shallow waters
Where do we go from here?
Do our hearts still burn?

We are never too late.
Hold my hand
I love you just the same.

This life with you
I lived every moment
Let’s talk about that ride
Beyond the yellow line
Our feet, still bigger than the world beneath
We were on time
Let’s talk about that train ride.

We only have words between us
A reason to smile
Fragments of the mind
A scent that lingers on
To shake my bones
And set the heart on fire

You have golden dust in your eyes
When silence creeps in
I dream, can't I?
A golden skyline
Or an ocean view
The smell of salty air
I looked at you
Words, that's how I fell for you

So, you're the espresso shots mixed in that iced mocha, even without the whipped cream, even with the imperfections, even with the bitter taste, even when you're under the gray skies, even without the sunshine on your face, the ice chips melting, it was still delicious. But then you got me twisting and turning on this bed of half baked dreams, I curl up like an almond pretzel wishing I was wrapped around the warmth of melted chocolate chips. You turned my mind into a carnival, carousels of too many roundabouts, spin me deliriously inside these violent waves and rushing lava flows. I have been counting sheep and chasing cars, played lullabies and uttered lost riddles to the stars tonight. I have climbed the mountains high and touched the clouds above the seas. I have walked these shores of pure white sand and saw your reflection on the moon at night. This train of thought is completely off track or maybe I am just lost in time.                         Tell me, why is it so hard to fall asleep?

What can be more precious than time?
How each stroke creates a resonating sound
A nostalgia in every round
What can be more beautiful than time?
That breaks the dawn with painted skies
And a golden sun that dies for moon?
What can be more powerful than time?
That wounds the heart
And heals a soul?
That can stop the world
And hold two people in tune?
