So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
Yeah, you've been alone I've been gone for far too long But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you
Never let it show The pain I've grown to know 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
Letters keep me warm Helped me through the storm But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
I've always been true I've waited so long just to come hold you I'm making it through It's been far too long, we've proven our Love over time's so strong, in all that we do The stars in the night, they lend me their light To bring me closer to heaven with you
(Bring me closer)
But with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you
I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes My heart's always with you now I won't question why so many have died My prayers have made it through yeah 'Cause with all these things we do It don't matter when I'm coming home to you
And with all that we've been through After all this time I'm coming home to you
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Whoa, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day (Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
I'm stuck here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I'm stuck here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
Never feared for anything Never shamed but never free A life that healed the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly Saw beyond what others see I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay? Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold Foolish lies of growing old It seems we're so invincible The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request A perfect chapter laid to rest Now and then I try to find A place in my mind Where you can stay You can stay awake forever
How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid) The ones that we love are here with me Lay away a place for me (place for me) 'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains But it's so hard to stay When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I love you, you were ready The pain is strong and urges rise But I'll see you, when He lets me Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away (so far) And I need you to know So far away (so far) And I need you to, need you to know
Never feared for anything Never shamed but never free A life that healed the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly Saw beyond what others see I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay? Will you stay away forever?
