lyrics

I walk by the door
It reminds me we’ve been here before
But it’s not quite the same
And through my weary eyes
I notice I don’t recognize
A single tile on the floor

I try to hold on
The storm is gone but we still mourn
As time does its dirty work
Is it a new life?
If memory still brings to light
The best and worst, the rights and wrongs

But I feel I’m finally getting there
So many things have changed while I was coming up for air
Now time has come to set us free
It’s safe to say we’re better off like things were always meant to be

Did I ever lie?
My hands were always firmly tied
As the fire spread across the room (around us all?)
And for the first time
I thought of swallowing my pride
Embracing the fear and letting go

But I feel I’m finally getting there
So many things have changed while I was coming up for air
Now time has come to set us free
It’s safe to say we’re better off like things were always meant to be

Blinding fear and drowning screams (Close your eyes)
All translated in my dreams (Take your time)
Wounded fingers drenched in blood (One last try)
Always trying to stop the flood (Say goodbye)

As the walls were crumbling down (Find your way)
We stood there watching safe and sound (Feel the pain)
Better things are yet to come (It will fade)
Panic slowly comes undone (We’ll remain)

I walk by the door
I notice we’ve been here before
Everything has changed

But I feel I’m finally getting there
So many things have changed while I was coming up for air
Now time has come to set us free
It’s safe to say we’re better off like things were always meant to be
