lyrics

I can't outlive these memories of us playing in the sea.
We embraced where the water met the shore,
the waves rushed over our heads in my bed
till you left me alone to break with the waves.

My heart's pounding like the hooves of a horse
on a cobblestone pathway to you.
My heart is swelling, I'm dwelling again.
Honey, there's so much to do. So much to lose.

I'm dreaming of a journey to you cross-country.
I'm afraid. It's impossible to afford
to drive 800 miles away to your play,
I want to atone. Did I drive you away?

My heart's pounding like the hooves of a horse
on a cobblestone pathway to you.
My heart is swelling, I'm dwelling again.
Honey, there's so much to do. So much to lose.


and I want to die, but something inside begs me to keep on,
to hold on to hope that's unfounded
This fire won't die.
