The Only Ones

The Only Ones

 

How will you move on?

The way that you do every year.

Soon this will be the least of your worries.

And what does the future hold?

The smile of a newborn face,

Consuming the world that gave me life.

 

Where has my past gone?

How I'd love to be a child again.

But I'm old enough to know better.

And where will I go now?

I want to have you again,

But maybe I've lost what was never mine.

 

But tell me we're not the only ones,

And I'll go.

And I'll go…

 

Outside of these windows,

You've got your places to go.

But I'm forever lost in you.

I may never see you again,

But I am always bound to this;

You know I'd do anything for you.

 

So tell me we're not the only ones,

Tell me we're not the only ones,

And I'll go.

And I'll go...

 

Tell me I'm not the only one.

Tell me I'm not the only one.

 

Tell me we're not the only ones,

Tell me we're not the only ones.

(Is this how you'll remember me?)

Tell me we're not the only ones,

(Is this how you'll remember me?)

And I'll go.

And I'll go...

 

Is this how you'll remember me?

The effortless streak that I've always been?

Remember, you gave that to me.
