After The Fall

Time only time could never take me away from you

And why should it try time never cares just what we do

It just sits on a star and gazes down

Dropping its moments all around

And if I could wish upon that star

I would find what you dream and then ask god to grant it

I wanted to say this long before this dark would fall

At night I would pray this then wonder if god heard at all

For the chances I've had are now long gone

And that star is no longer wished upon

For on this night it seems too far away

Try I have tried to pretend that I don't care

But then sleep arrives and in every dream I find you there

But I don't want the past to be my life

And I don't want to live inside this night

But I don't want to see your shadow fade

So I sleep and I dream though I don't understand it

I wanted to say this long before this dark would fall

At night I would pray this then wonder if god heard at all

For the chances I've had are now long gone

And that star is no longer wished upon

For on this night it seems too far away

You can live your life in a thousand ways

But it all comes down to that single day

When you realize what you regret

What you can't reclaim but you can't forget

If I could just fall back into my life

And find you there inside this night and let eternity just drift away
