I left the room, I walked down the hall, Past the new mothers, I turned round the corner, Through doors at the back I saw some old friends from school, A banquet and prom dresses, I didn’t go in.
One moment I swam there, In daylight, Where did it all go away? Fear of the truth When the ocean Emptied itself.
Further down the hall, I saw him standing in a tux, Wide-open hands, I floated to his smile, He wrapped his arms around me And didn’t say a word, I could feel all his friendship, Could feel love.
One moment I swam there In daylight, Where did it all go away? Fear of the truth When the ocean Emptied itself.
I turned one last corner Into a room, Coffins and flowers, The stillness of death, But you, I saw you there Sitting at a table, Sad laughter with friends, A beautiful girl Dressed like a queen, The searching could end, There’s nothing else I need, I moved past the dead, I moved to your arms, But you couldn’t see, You didn’t look up.
One moment I swam there In daylight, Where did it all go away? Fear of the truth When the ocean Emptied itself.
