lyrics
Verse:
It appears to me on a June afternoon in a mid-day slumber,
Far from the stares of a late night gaze that she kept me under,
Pre-chorus:
I understand why she's gone
Yet I still Wonder
Chorus:
What was said, through the glass
If I don't know why don't I ask
I understand, Now I see
Still I long for who I was and what she ever saw in me
Verse:
With my light moussed haircut and my deeply cut mustache I sit and wonder
Thinking of my home and the spell that it kept me under
Pre-Chorus:
I understand why it was
Yet still I wonder
Chorus:
No one steals, Good Advice
Never dreamed this life would be mine
When I feel, drained of life
That's the day I lost everything
And walked towards the light
Chorus:
Now there's nothing, Left to fight
I'm alone in thinking I'm right
Still there's something, For my strife but there's nothing
To fade as the day turns to night
Bridge:
Reason:
Your Keystone Shaped Heart Again, Colliding with your heart shaped mind
Passion:
Never you never never know a love like hers I still may find
Reason:
You know you'd never have become the person you became down here
Passion:
I'd Hate to lose the music and the friends or I'd never leave the wilderness in fear
Reason:
Things were very present the night before you left at dawn
Passion:
It's times like this I realize once again it's time to move on
Reason:
You always said you believe in Independence, well united we stand divided we fall
Passion:
I've fallen for many years now it's time to stand once and for all!!
Outro:
Fooling love, Blindly fight
Until it all comes clear in the light
Truth has fallen, Like the Wall
It's time to walk away from it all
