The Things We Lose

Of all the dreams I've had
You were always the brightest one
But the currents shifted shape
And the oceans turned away
So far apart we've gone now

How can I let go?
I scream to the sea
But nothing returns
How could I let you go
I scream to the ocean
But there's only my echo

Of all the sweet things we used to say
Your words still ring inside my head
But the memories still sting and fade
And someday soon
Will your voice slip away

How can I let go?
I scream to the sea
But nothing returns
How could I let you go
I scream to the ocean
But there's only my echo

Underneath the streetlights
Dance in circles 'round the pavement
All these doors to memories
Just starting to close

I hold you close
But the memory's fading
Starting to be lost
And never to be found again

How can I let go?
I scream to the sea
But nothing returns
How could I let you go
I scream to the ocean
But the only sound I hear is my echo

How could I dare let you go
Like ships passing in the dark of night
How could I set a fire
How could I spark a light
I call out to your shores
But the only sound I hear is my own echo
