I know there's a place where it goes
Lost memories, conversations and persons
If not how could it with all your love,
even bear to depart with empty smiles?

The last time we spoke
The last time I felt loved
The last time we were happy
The last time there was peace
The last time it seemed like the world had to stop spinning
Because our friendship was too perfect for it to take
The witty lines exchanged, the knowing looks
How could it bear to leave us for desolateness

They're like floating figures
In a garden of mists so ephemeral
Swirling, so pretty

Like the last time I held your heart in my hand
I couldn't have left it behind me just like that
It must have gone to some paradise
If not how could it have mustered the courage to leave me
Knowing how wrecked I'd be without it
Like the last time you made me smile and laugh
And comforted me with beautiful words
It must have fleeted away into the crack hole of time
Into this stunning acre beyond darkness and blemish
If not how could it have gripped its fingers off me
And even contemplate leaving?

I wish I could have done everything you wanted
I wish I could have been more for you and the ghost of us

If we danced into this lovely garden
Would we be greeted by our smiling selves
And they'd say, "What took you so long?
It was so easy to come, so easy to come."

We just didn't have the chance
To find out who we were before we gave it all away.
We didn't lose ourselves, we didn't change
We just brought them to somewhere lovelier
Before any of this mess could begin.

No point wishing over every little thing.
There is nothing left, so nothing to give up
Salvation?
It's when you realize it's too late for change.
