I'm letting you go, dear past
you're the ether that scientists thought to carry the light
they discovered you don't really exist (the speed of light is invariant for every observer)
I have things to live, new adventures to imagine
the dream scared to wake up
dear, it's time to take a chance...
'Cause
She won't be there again to write in my cherished books
And I will give her a happy ending and say hello when we meet again
She was so nice but left unexplained and there is nothing to do
And if you by chance knock my door again, ask for a cup of tea
please remember you won't stay after 10 unless you're real
I'm keeping some music preserved, you know
like the stars save a million years that you can travel to
they found a lifetime it's actually enough (time dilates and space contracts)
I have memories to make, friendships to shield
the soul afraid of dying
hey, now learns to live and fly...
'Cause
He won't remember the tears I shed some nights before
Or how he kissed me in the parking lot when we thought nobody watched
They were so sweet, dear, but have never happened at all
We can talk like old friends, forgotten lovers, listen to some songs
please remember you are a treasure but you are gone
somewhere I read "Don't forget me, don't forget all the things in the past, because I'm a prisoner of time and time is moving too fast"
