A Sequel In Time

I found out so I'm told
that not everyone can be so bold
But I am and so what

Can't care now or so I know
lost that will long ago
days fell all around

months went by and killed the flame
never bleed quite the same
blood as thin as water, blood as thin as water

somewhere then was the key
there was you and then came me
can't bleed out forever don't you know

caught beneath a landslide 
not down here a place to hide
better to hide away, better to hide away

you left town and so did I
walked too far to see you cry
wasn't watching anyway

so blame me and be done with it
can't say much so sick of (this)
just take me all away

guess you can't but that's okay
didn't mean it anyway
I forget so much, I forget so much

Drink it in and think awhile
How far is it to the Nile
rather be there than here

someplaces linger on
even when things are done
I know you like a child

Wonder where we went wrong
didn't think it would take so long
but here we are now

caught between the light of day
wishing you could stay
with me, oh baby with me

sorry for all those nasty things
only tried to make us kings
the world is never kind

imagine us atop the world
never knew we were bold
but my dear, but my dear it's never been done

I knew the little girl inside
made her eyes open wide
you took the boy out of me

we grew up and became us
happened then we broke our trust
just natural among all things

can't give up though we're apart
find somewhere to restart
living is just a game to play

you moved on and so did I
never stop to wonder why
but in my dreams, in my dreams it's not so

you held back and drew me here
kept close warm and near
I wish it were so

Hold on to that dream
and it can one day be
the one we were waiting for, the one we were waiting for

but some may live and who should die
don't forget to wonder why
because I never stopped, I never stopped

Tomorrow's here and you are there
we found our place everywhere
and so we are you and I
