Forever is a Long Time

You can’t escape the feeling
That rises from the root
The sputter, then the silence
When two hearts run out of fuel
We painted little pictures
To escape the big
But now the light is fading
And all our love with it
And it won’t quit

It’s a long way to the end of the road
When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?
So focus hard on every following step
Oh, ’cause forever is a long long time to guess
Oh, forever is a long time

Looking down the water
This way a ripple rolls
But turn your face away and
Still you feel the cold
But I’m shaking in my sheets now
There’s nowhere left to hide
A hundred thousand mirrors
That shatter you and I
You and I

It’s a long way to the end of the road
When you wandered, were you swallowed by the valley below?
So focus hard on every following step
Oh, ’cause forever is a long long time to guess
Oh, forever is a long time
