Lyrics

Every single thing that I want to forget
Projects from my memory
Like it's happening in front of me

And every cherished moment
that I want to hold onto
Is like the stem of a flower
Petals plucked out and devoured
Until it is ugly

I don’t want it to get ugly
If we savor this too long
All the texture will be gone
And it will lose its flavor

And I know it is easy
To be deceived by the warming glow
But every moment I know
That it will someday be over

With a little foresight
We can avoid a tragedy

Oh can this be over
Oh can this be over

I can’t resist the urge
to glide into the blazing light
Open up my wings
and shine so terribly bright

I know that this will hurt someday
The best is yet to leave
Grant me a reprieve

Maybe we can take control
Shake hands and walk away
Save ourselves from our future mistakes
And from our future pain

With a little mercy
We can avoid a tragedy

Oh can this be over
Oh can this be over

I can’t resist the urge
to glide into the blazing light
I can’t resist the urge
to fall back into the dark of the night

I will take any chance I get
To avoid the regret
That I know that I’ll feel
When my fears become real

But I admire your persistence
And your love for existence
But it’s just not enough
No it’s not quite enough

To assure me that we won’t tear down
Everything that we’ve built over time

And I can’t resist
the strong urge to let go of your hand
And float up into space
