|
We started out with distant eyes |
|
The beginning of an era with no compromise |
|
We ruled so absolutely |
|
Cause we knew it was our time |
|
I look back so disappointed |
|
We were kings in our own minds |
|
Rulers of a crumbling empire |
|
As the walls came down |
|
Stone by stone |
|
We found ourselves now exposed and alone |
|
Left to face this world we could have owned |
|
I said the best laid plans |
|
Can sometimes go astray |
|
You know it happened to me |
|
And I think about it everyday |
|
Because it's been a long time and |
|
I feel like nothing's changed |
|
And no I don't know where |
|
I'm goingI just wanna get on my way |
|
What started out as youthful aims |
|
Flowered and died and left as quick as it came |
|
Spent the next few years running in circles |
|
Just trying to recover |
|
What can never be the same |
|
So we beat on boats against the current |
|
Trying to defy |
|
The way that mistakes we made reduced our fate |
|
To a fleeting moment in time |
|
This ain't really a sad song |
|
Just a little somethin' to bring closure |
|
To a dream deferred |
|
That had passed, before |
|
I knew it was over |
|
And the distance grows every passing year |
|
And the memories get just a little less clear |
|
Oh, how these days collide |
|
Collide |
