Oslo

I wish you could see the pages that you've filled
All the words that you inspired
I wish you knew how close I came to packing all my things
Just to see you one more time
But everyone thinks I'm crazy
And I admit I'm lost
Drowning in desperation
Clinging to what's gone
Cause I need to be with you
To breathe the air you breathe
To see your eyes in front of me
Instead of on a screen
But I can't

I know in the future, a far off distant day
I'll hear your voice across the line, and know it is ok
We'll smile as we share stories, of new lives that we lead
We'll swim in the lake together, laughing at our memories
Before that day can get here
I want you in my arms
To hold you one last time before our love is finally gone
For all our years together
How can I watch you go
Without running up the church steps just to bang on the window
But I can't

You are in my bones
You are in my soul
As the knot begins to fray
As we both now walk away
I'll still dream of Oslo

Emotions run like cavalry, encircling my mind
My friends they man the ramparts, trying to hold the line
To save me from myself, from getting on a plane
When every fiber in my body's calling out your name
Cause I know time is short
And feelings will subside
And each time that he kisses you
A part of our love dies
I replay all the moments of the last time that we spoke
Through tears you said I love you, I still want to cling to hope
But I can't

You are in my bones
You are in my soul
As the knot begins to fray
As we both now walk away
I'll still dream of Oslo

You are in my bones
You are in my soul
You are in my bones
You are in my soul
You are in my soul
You are in my soul
You are in my soul
