(Verse 1)

I promised you I’d do my best

I’d stand up, take my turn

You brought me into happiness

And we figured out who we were

But the leaves grow green, it’s almost time

To find us moving on

You and I, it’s hard to find

That eventually we’re gone

(Prechorus 1)

Because the nature of where we are

Says that soon we’ll part

And I can’t keep you in my arms

Because the nature of where we’re at

Says it’s time to move on past

And I can’t hold on any longer

(Chorus 1)

So take a cold breath before the sun is up

We have to leave at dawn

Remember what I said at dusk

Sing me one more song

And when it’s time to leave, hold me one more time

Then turn and walk away

I'll burn these memories of you into my mind

While we walk on into day

(Verse 2)

Driving in the dark with no headlights on

But we somehow found our path

I hear your words while you’re on my arm

Echoing your laugh

Pushing through the fog in the middle of the night

When I stop, I realize

Soon you will be out of sight

But I hear your laugh when I close my eyes

(Prechorus 2)

But the nature of where we are

Says that soon we’ll part

And I can’t keep you in my arms

Because the nature of where we’re at

Says it’s time to move on past

And I can’t hold on any longer

(Chorus 2)

So take a cold breath before the sun is up

We have to leave at dawn

Remember what I said at dusk

Sing me one more song

And when it’s time to leave, hold me one more time

Then turn and walk away

I'll burn these memories of you into my mind

While we walk on into day

(Bridge)

Things have changed so much for us

But there’s so much left to find

So walk the path and take your chance

Even if I’m not by your side

There’s so much on this path ahead

So rest while you have the chance

Feel your heartbeat in your chest

And walk on while you can

(Chorus 3)

So take a deep breath, it’s almost up

See our stars before they blink out

We’ll have to leave, I know we must

But you can sing to me for now

It’s time to leave, hold me one more time

Don’t walk away just yet

Let me burn your smile into my mind

Let me memorize your breath

(Chorus 4)

So take a cold breath before the sun is up

We have to leave at dawn

Remember what I said at dusk

Sing me one more song

And when it’s time to leave, hold me one more time

Then turn and walk away

I'll burn these memories of you into my mind

While we walk on into day

I’ll hold these pieces of you that I’ve found are mine

Then we’ll walk on into day
