[Verse 1]
Between this world and the next
I wanna locate a bit of you
Will I feel it or gaze in emptiness
Who’d guess it could be so unfinished
A never ending infernal process
Yeah where is that bliss
That ordinary life that was so exquisite
[Verse 2]
You long for the flowers
I get more from the hours spent
Minutes that are free of dissent
A day without argument
[Chorus]
You said you long for the flowers that you remember
A song sang from the shower how I used to bend words
You asked me where did all that go and I have no answer
I admit that I’m giving up hope and wondering if it can survive
[Bridge]
One day will we just begin again
One day will we begin again
[Chorus]
You said you long for the flowers that you remember
A song sang from the shower how I used to bend words
You asked me where did all that go and I have no answer
I admit that I’m giving up hope and wondering if it can survive
[Post-Chorus]
Don’t think I take lightly
The wilting we feel
I wish for surviving
But time, but time, it steals like a thief
[Outro]
Oh, don’t think I take lightly
The wilting we feel
I wish for surviving
But time, but time, it steals like a thief
