[Verse 1]
You're the wolf that always rescued me
You're the shadow of the bear
You're a symphony I can't forget
That was somehow always there
In my mind, I would beg you to stay
Over and over again
But the years that fall between us now
Are the end of the end of the end
[Chorus]
You remind me of the man I was
And how much I've run from him because
I was blind then and it broke your heart
And it led back to the start
You remind me of a time that's passed
And how much I've longed for it to last
But we left then so filled with pain
In the goddamn pouring rain
You remind me
[Verse 2]
What if everything we're asking for

What if all we've ever known before

But I'm certain I'm hearing your voice
Over and over again
Here is love if you can deal with it
In the end of the end of the end
[Chorus]
You remind me of the man I was
And how much I've run from him because
I was blind then and it broke your heart
And it led back to the start
You remind me of a time that's passed
And how much I've longed for it to last
But we left then so filled with pain
In the goddamn pouring rain
You remind me
You remind me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You remind me of the man I was
And how much I've run from him because
I was blind then and it broke your heart
And it led back to the start
You remind me of a time that's passed
And how much I've longed for it to last
But we left then so filled with pain
In the goddamn pouring rain
You remind me
