I can’t see what’s making you hurt
But I can’t come out to play
Father told me to keep to myself, but…
How can I keep away from you?
I didn’t want to believe it was true
That you would pull your hair back and accept your payment
And while I’m sitting in this apartment alone
I search the sky for a glimpse of you
When I’m out and on the street
There’s a bitter wind that’s bustling
I never seemed to catch your eye
But mama said that you caught mine
And I had left town to find my new home
I tried to say bye but you never really listened
Let’s go walk in the Pasteur
The green grass and shining sun
But where were you then?
…
Everything stays in the long dreadful wilderness
It’s all the same just how I remember
Now I have moved on from this little town
But all that’s contained has never left its side
Yesterday I looked and saw you there
You stood in the door of that old ice cream shop where we used to play
Tomorrow I’ll look back to see you still there
But yesterday’s memories are one’s I can’t bare
You sat in the forest and looked to the sun
The hunters they packed up their gear and moved on
But all of the animals hid in their dens
Were they just mesmerized by the fear in your heart?
I tell you that tomorrow is another day of hope
But you had given up your hope so long ago
But everything stays
But everything changes
Perhaps this was not the life to believe in
Will stars fall down from the sky?
Enchanting the young and despising the wise
Everything stays
It’s all the same
This town and its people the roads and the rivers
They call out for more but find themselves crying
For what is the point when it all seems it’s hopeless
Cause everything stays and everything changes
Where were you the night that I left you for good?
Everything changed when I chose to leave
But everything stayed the same for you
How do you feel?
Everything stays
Everything changes
Won’t you remember those words that you said?
What is love? And what is forever?
Please won’t you tell me? I’m dying to know
