Every single thing that I want to forget

Projects from my memory

Like it's happening in front of me

And every cherished moment

That I want to hold onto

Is like the stem of a flower

Pedals plucked out and devoured

Until it is ugly

I don’t want it to get ugly

If we savor this too long

All the texture will be gone

And it will lose its flavor

And I know it is easy

To be deceived by the warming glow

But every moment I know

That it will someday be over

With a little foresight

We can avoid a tragedy

Oh can this be over

Oh can this be over

I can’t resist the urge

To glide into the blazing light

Open up my wings

And shine so terribly bright

I know that this will hurt someday

The best is yet to leave

Grant me a reprieve

Maybe we can take control

Shake hands and walk away

Save ourselves from our future mistakes

And from our future pain

With a little mercy

We can avoid a tragedy

Oh can this be over

Oh can this be over

I can’t resist the urge

To glide into the blazing light

(Fight it!)

I can’t resist the urge

To fall back into the dark of the night

I will take any chance I get

To avoid the regret

That I know that I’ll feel

When my fears become real

But I admire your persistence

And your love for existence

But it’s just not enough

No it’s not quite enough

To assure me that we won’t tear down

Everything that we’ve built over time

And I can’t resist

The strong urge to let go of your hand

And float up into space
