[Verse 1]

It had begun to take hold

The shadows grew longer and colder

Somehow I felt so much older back then

I’d drift in and out of a dream

Losing the line in between them

Waking to find I’d have no idea where I was


[Pre Chorus 1]

Fragments of memories, allies and enemies

Trying to catch my breath, summon the energy to

Keep climbing on, it has get easier at some point


[Chorus]

I made this mistake on my own terms

At least I can say that I tried

You externalised my inner demons

I think it’s time


[Verse 2]

It all came together at once

I opened my eyes to a stranger

I couldn’t hold on

Something was calling my name


[Pre Chorus 2]

Suddenly off the edge I go, backward overhead

The rain begins turn and fall upwards instead

Gravity start to tear trees out of the ground

Below I see the sunset and realise I’m found

No time was lost on this journey together

No harm was done though our pilgrimage has ended

Finally there were no choices left to be made

We will surely see this as we age


[Chorus 2]

We made this mistake on our own terms

At least we can say that we tried

We externalised our inner demons

I think it’s time

I’ll always remember your kindness

The pain and the guilt will subside

We gave our best shot and we missed by a mile

I don’t mind

I think it’s time
