Heaven in ruin

Stranded somewhere between light and dark

Hidden while you stand still

By the silence of modern noise

You signed your name over to me

We dedicate ourselves to see

How far we might try to extend

Where you begin and where I end

(Memories are all we'll ever have)

I heard the future calling

Over the morning light

This future never started

Headlights carve out the dark

Distance starts to ache more than hurt

The bitterness of where we are

Buys one more drink at the hotel bar

Phantom limbs left the door ajar

Where we end up is who we are

How much more should we have known

But just keep calm, take it slow

The bitter-tasting pill I had to swallow is

You don't lead but you never follow

(Memories are all we'll ever have)

I heard the future calling

Ever so long ago

This future never started

I did all I could do

The hand I dealt's the hand that beat me

I tried to give myself completely

But this is what the future called out

[Solo]

(Memories are all we'll ever have)

I saw this future ending

Over the morning light

This future's never ending

I hope some day I'll get it right

Just one time

Persuade me, one last time

Persuade me, 'cause I'm walking away

Last time, before we go

I hope someday I'll get it right

[Drum Solo]

[Outro]

I hear the seconds ticking the day

While the emotion washes away

I hear the anger mounting to nothing

It's just the next crest of the wave

Sing it in silence
