Lyrics
I love you to the moon and back, I love you to the stars. And still it's all in vain my dear, cause you wandered much too far. You're my every hope, my every dream, my joy, my light, my love. I wait for your softness, your whispers, your kisses and then...
Something rips apart the script, the one that was meant for you. Then you ran to the shore alone, and I never got the cue. Until the marrow peeled from my bones, and my blood all ran dry. Then you plucked away the clock for good, what did you say we have...
No Time to make it work, no time to make it right. No time on this earth was enough to get through it, cause you took the permanent flight.
You're every thing I wanted, You're everything I believed, you're everything I didn't know I could ever dream.
I'd give anything to bring you back, to feel your skin in mine. I wish to wake up from this bad dream that I couldn't scheme if I tried. I drink your eyes in photographs, your tender voice replayed. A million songs I sing for you, has the karma bill been paid? You moved in me and i moved in you, and that became our truth. But your chosen silence is deafening, I can't reconcile- you're so aloof.
Cause there's No Time to make it work, No Time to make it right. No Time on this earth was enough to get through it, cause you took the opposite flight, with no time to under stand, no time to drink the light. Unresolved we'll always be, did you leave out of ease should your dreams fall apart?
And now we'll never know, cause you ran from curtain call, maybe the lights were too bright, or the stage was much too small. Your long lashes kiss my nose and your lips press on my cheek. Tell me dear- does the frost encase them gently while you sleep. Cause your audience of one, still waits for a sign, is this our forever that's locked in the never of time ?
