And as the sunlight hits our footsteps
we'll have gone as far as we can go
Maybe pray for one more moon, or two,
to keep us where we are
before we go to blend in with the stars
Even though there's promise in their shine
they've seen their share of friends like these
But whether or not they're true to you
my answer's still the same
and never would it be a waste of time
And I hope that when you think of me
there's not a place inside your heart that feels alone
'Cause like a man who cut his teeth
away from where he'd grown
I would always return home
If I deserve someone better
well please tell me where they might be found
'Cause in doing the things I do, I found you
and that to me
is a thought that I'd like to keep around
Maybe ours will find some other hearts
or maybe they will stand their ground
but whichever way they go, I know,
that we should not forget
that remembering is an important part
And I hope that being far away
helps you realize what you want to be close to
and if that isn't me, we'll I'll have to let that be
but I'll have you know I'm not changing my mind
There is something hidden in the heat
making sure that we won't know
what's been undercover
but once it's frozen over
there will be some time to clear the beat
There are things you feel but cannot show
that play themselves out in your head
and though most of it is all for show,
it should not go unsaid
when you're then one that someone needs
and you don't know
And I hope that being so alone
has changed your mind about the way
that things were going,
and when you run out of things to do
it may turn out to be true
you've had a change of heart worth showing
