Wish I didn't have to move forward.
May I just look back at these footprints,
and follow them back to things we left behind
I'll try so hard to keep them alive
If I could just rewind.

Walking through the past with eyes wide open,
I'll stop where we left each other broken
and I'll find the moment we fell out of place
And I won't take another step until it's erased
then you won't ever have to walk away

I'll wander back to our times
Lose myself in your eyes
It's like gazing up at the stars
This time it won't be too late when I realise
that all I need is right here in your arms
Though I'm young and meant to be free,
when the nights are cold it's not freedom I need.

I don't know how you feel about us now,
but I know I brought a part of you to life
We were two grey souls until we touched
We filled each other with a blazing light
That light died when we parted ways
Now every step forward takes me deeper into night.

I wish I could stop in my tracks.
I'll turn and take these years back,
Because nothing I'll ever gain
Could make up for my lacks.
When I look to the future all I see,
is the one thing I'll never have.

So if I could turn around,
I'll follow the footprints back to our times
And hold on to the simple happiness we had
when you were mine.
