I find it so strange to think that once we were in love Hiding naked beneath the sheets You were so beautiful Oh, how I was so afraid Laughing at our innocence And longing as it passed us by Now just the thought of her brings bile to my throat Her words could rot teeth You told me hundreds and thousands of times Just how much you would always need me And how you'd never ever leave me And I believed you But in the end it was you who proved me wrong Now as I gladly move along I pick myself up and find a way to come out stronger
My life has been full of short stories And I'm longing for an epic I found one in the reeds Right there hidden were the seeds Now as we march out of these marshes We find ourselves both hand in hand We're taking steps towards our future While always learning from the past We'll find our way and make mistakes We'll find a way to make this last I'm sick of taking short walks down long roads And never getting anywhere at all I want to walk till my boots run bare Take the high road towards our golden years
