the last flicker

Reminiscing times of glory
Feel you kiss me
I have no worries
Reminiscing times when we
Danced in sweet harmony
Laughed till you were too weak
Smiled at you till you went and soared
Now, the needle is still on the record

I survived another dance around the sun
17 is too long to be missing the one
I can't touch what you last held onto
Scared the last flicker of you will be gone too
I can't look at what you left
Just know, the bed is still unmade
The warmth is gone but I still stayed

As I sit on the couch
I think dreadful thoughts to myself
"I have to do something with the artifacts you left behind"
The only pieces you left divine

'Cause I survived another dance around the sun
17 is too long to be missing the one
And I can't touch what you last held onto
Scared the last flicker of you will be gone too
I can't go on another round
If you can never be found until the time comes
But each day is closer to the sound of the drums

The last flicker of you
I scream, "Won't you come back to me?"
I plead down on my wretched knees
"Please, bring them back to me"
"You're a fool"
I love you
I love you
Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
Without the last flicker of you

I survived one last dance around the sun
51 is too long I missed my one
The needle and the record
Were left in that place
Filled with our holy grace
Filled with the last flicker of us
