A Memory

On the balconies where we once watched the moonlight
When the one thing in the world we had was time
We talked of people we had known
And of the lives we'd led but outgrown
We discovered we had been the lucky ones

I only read the first lines of a story
Because I can't handle the end
Will you please try not to forget
How we danced to a tune
From a window on the other side
As you said I'm in the mood to explode
As you said I'm in the mood to dissolve into the sky tonight

I still don't know what you were trying to tell me
Like the lies they tell you when you are a child
You knew things I would never know
You saw a different kind of glow
And you could hear new sounds in the silence

I only read the backside of a story
Because I can't handle the end
Will you please try not to forget
How we danced to a tune
From a window on the other side
As you said I'm in the mood to explode
As you said I'm in the mood to dissolve into the sky tonight
