Every summer leads to fall And we give our hearts Hoping there's no chain of consequence And there's nothing I can do To change my past mistakes That built up these barriers between us
I know the truth is something we can't run from But I know you do your best I feel you running every day So many things you don't want to believe in And all I'm left with knowing Is eventually, love kills us all
Seems so strange to think of A time before we met Before I knew the meaning Of love or of regret
You're hiding, I'm searching I'm holding out my heart for you to take I'm losing, but I'm fighting Because I know our future is at stake
Can you live your life in one day Cause I don't know what more I've got to offer A transient connection Just a flash and then it's gone And only I remain
Snow fell on the platform Of that train on Boxing Day Falling into your arms Is where I'd hoped to stay
Your heart protected And I've got only emptiness inside
Now I've lived my life in one day I don't know what more I have to wait for An element reacting Just a flash and then it's gone And only I remain
Something stirred the embers In this long dead heart Beautiful and simple But much too far apart We only had a moment But this I know is true: If you close your eyes - remember it I'll be there with you
Won't you take my hand for just one day I'll give you everything I've got to offer A transient reaction Just a flash and then it's gone A solitary moment But the memory still lingers on And I would go through anything Just to feel that way again To live my life in just one day
