I REMEMBER WHEN YOU USE TO PLAY IN MY HAIR…
AND I’D SMILE EACH TURN
JUST SEEING YOU THERE
BUT NOW EXTENDED ARMS
ARE IN WANTING REACH
AND ECHO’S ARE THE SOUNDS
OF THE WORDS I TRY AND SPEAK
WE’RE SLIPPING AWAY…WAY…WAY
LEAVING A THOUSAND WHYS
JUST YOU’RE COLD SHOULDER
FEELS LIKE GOODBYE
AS I LAY REFLECTING WHEN MY TOUCH
LOST YOU FOR DAYS
BUT NOW THROUGH MY FINGERS
WE’RE SLIPPING AWAY
CAUSING RIVERS, OF ENDLESS TEARS
FINALLY FACING THE TRUTH
OF UNSAID FEARS
BECAUSE IT SEEMS WITHOUT WARNING
SILENCE HAS LEAD US ASTRAY
AND YOU’RE SO LOST IN YOUR DREAMS
THAT WE’RE SLIPPING AWAY
LOOK I REALIZE YOUR STRIDE
IS TO HELP THE STRUGGLES WE FACE
BUT YOU’RE BECOMING A STRANGER IN THIS PLACE
FOR I REMEMBER WHEN
YOU KNEW YOU WASN’T ALONE
LAUGHING AND PLAYING
IN THE WALLS OF OUR HOME
BUT NOW WE’RE CONSUMED
WITH PRESSURES AND STRESS
CAUSING THOUGHTS LIKE TORNADOES
TO STORM THROUGH OUR REST
AND INSTEAD OF EXPRESSING
ANYTHING WE HAVE TO SAY
WE LAY LISTENING TO WHISPERS
DRIFTING AWAY….WAY….WAY…
