Take Us Back

Footprints in the snow
Where'd you go? I don't know
But I try not to be careless
So I'll take this real fucking slow
I hear you calling
Painting chills all through the air
But you were falling
So I wonder if you're even there
Standing on the edge of everything
Beckoning for a sense of fulfilment
To present itself as anything
I can't believe it
I can't accept you went away
Don't know how long it's been
Felt like it was yesterday

Open up your eyes
You told me that we'd stay together
Not that you would lie
But I just wish that you'd live forever
I never would have guessed that this is what it'd come to
(I never would have guessed that this is what it'd come to)
And every night I wait until my eyelids drop
So I can see you

Take us back to the days we would wait
For the rain to soak away
When we were young, we were dumb
When we thought that everything would be okay

And I know that you were never frowning
Cheerful 'til the sun went down and
I would smile for you
Over time the rain would fall
You'd show me to stand tall
Now, what am I to do?
You've gone away
Nothing else to say
Now this place is cold
With a swift attack
Just take us back
To when good tales were told

Take us back to the days we would wait
For the rain to soak away
When we were young, we were dumb
When we thought that everything would be okay

Take us back to the days we would wait
For the rain to soak away
When we were young, we were dumb
When we thought that everything would be okay
Take us back to the days we would wait
For the rain to soak away
When we were young, we were dumb
When we thought that everything would be okay
