amber

This could be heaven
This could be the dream that I've had countless times
Where we had a home
Had a rooftop
With a better view of the skyline

But I wake up, still aching for the quiet after storms
When we're secure - when we're free from the dice
And set into stone until the day I'm out of time

We've got forever
To find our peace together
When the clouds part, our journey will start
(Into the sunset, into the amber)

And though the odds aren't in our favor
And they say feelings tend to waver
Ready when you are, cause we've made it this far
(Into the resin, into the amber)

When these younger days become the yesteryears
Hung in golden frames along the corridors
As our ash escapes into the stratosphere
This is what I want
Nothing less and nothing more

I'm sure we've got forever
To find our peace together
When the clouds part, our journey will start
(Into the sunset, into the amber)

And though the odds aren't in our favor
And they say feelings tend to waver
Ready when you are, cause we've made it this far
(Into the resin, into the amber)

Through the coming years of waking up
To the replica of you
Smiling through the other side of my obsolete device

The light that keeps me sleep deprived
The sound of clicks on glass
I will never let go of you again

And as the last tree goes up in flames
As the last lake evaporates
As the last star fades into the night
I'll leave it at that - the promise is implied

The time we have together
I know it's not forever
But we'll meet again when we're beyond the horizon
Over the sunset, and into what's after

And now your voice a different timbre
And my bones a little weaker
Ready when you are, cause we've made it this far
Into forever, into the amber

So I'm sure we've got forever
To find our peace together
When the clouds part
Our journey will start

Darling, you don't have to be afraid
I've waited my whole life for you after all
