Worlds Apart

You came into my life
Without a single warning
We cut the night sky open like a knife
And watched it trickle into morning
Then the breaking day
Came to take me away
But your skin made sure I would stay

And the memories inside us
Took on a life of their own
And what life had denied us
Seemed set in stone
But with every day
Instead of fading away
What we had decided to stay

I can't remember the moment you entered my veins and you tendered my brains
But if I didn't try and take pains to attain you, well I would be plainly insane

So lift me up and tear me down
And pick me up right off the ground
And put me back together like you found me

But I'll grow stronger every time
And I won't ever leave your mind
You'll always keep a part of me to long for

We take a trip through time and space
The universe shifts into place
And everything is right where it belongs

We counted the days
In so many ways
And the miles between worlds apart
Now we're counting them still
But, oh, how locks stand still
At the tick of a beating heart

So lift me up and tear me down
And pick me up right off the ground
And put me back together like you found me

But I'll grow stronger every time
And I won't ever leave your mind
You'll always keep a part of me to long for
