lyrics
The first day when we're introduced
Her favourite film becomes the room
We sit together briefly in a dream of growing old
In hours spent a drink apart
Letting time wash over us
Nothing else could matter if
I get to feel her smile
But shadow flickers through our heads
"Remember, someday we'll be dead"
I know it every day but sometimes I can still forget
When hand in hand the lights will fade
And fear will slowly grip my face
No music starts to play
To carry us upon it's grace
I know each story ends the same
A fleeting spirit drifts away
Clinging to the hearts it knew,
So desperate to stay
Let me see it all again,
Our life projected, scene by scene
Show me how her eyes
Could brighten every single frame
Still I linger back to wait
For her to catch up to our fate
So we can sit forever as we did on that first day
A soul will flicker cross the room -
A changing reel, or is it you?
Let's stay and watch and try
to un-remember what is true
