lyrics

I saw tears in your eyes
A stone of 58 years I never
Thought I would see
The face I saw on that evening
You made a promise to me
Said we could change the stars someday
And I
Doubted your chances
Yeah

I felt fear in my hands
A twenty something bound for better things
Than his hometown
Are you giving up or running away from this

Flee from fires, chase the sun
I will become what I've run from
I look at you and see in me
The face of our shared enemy

Tell me is it where you have come from
Tell me is it how they see you
Tell me is it falls you have taken
Is this how it's all supposed to be
How it's supposed to be

Tell me what’s running all my life done
What's being scared accomplished
Would all the paths that I avoided
Have turned out so bad

Is it where you have come from
Tell me is it how they see you
Tell me is it falls you have taken
Is this how it's all supposed to be
How it's supposed to be

Now that you’re gone
Will you come to me in dreams
Make sense of my nonsense
As you used to do with ease

Now that you’re gone
Will you come to me in dreams
Make sense of my nonsense
As you used to do with ease

Now that you’re gone
Will you come to me in dreams
Make sense of my nonsense
Tell me how it’s supposed to be
