Everlasting...

Ghosts, they haunt me on my way home
They're scattered, crystallized in snow
On emerald evergreen trees
Last December's snow, it built a carnival
Appeased our inner hopes
Thought the world would respond to our pleas

Had that been true then I wouldn't be stuck
Replaying memories of you
What can I do when auroras of winter
Recount my last words of ice-cold blue
You said we gave up too soon

But I knew we weren't everlasting
Because fate doesn't owe us
I knew we weren't everlasting
Based on all our time had shown us
I knew we weren't everlasting
Just time that's passing
But why weren't we ever asking
If us ever lasting was doomed from the start

Cinematically so subpar
Complaining in your red car
Outside was a wonderland
We took that snow-globe of our winter
Held it in cold fingers
Felt it crack suddenly in our hands

Then we knew the snow we made angels in
Would melt away soon
What can we do when auroras of winter
Recount our last words of ice-cold blue
That's why we gave up so soon

We knew we weren't everlasting
Because fate doesn't owe us
We knew we weren't everlasting
Based on all our time had shown us
We knew we weren't everlasting
Just time that's passing
But why weren't we ever asking
If us ever lasting was doomed from the start

It's hard, wish I prepared from the start
Incandescent lights, they used to glow like magic
It's gone dark, town square where our story starts
You said loving me was your worst habit

We said we weren't everlasting
Because fate doesn't owe us
But why weren't we ever asking
Why fate should have controlled us
We knew we weren't everlasting
Just time worth passing
The chance of us ever lasting
Ever ever lasting
Was doomed from the start

Like snowfall, it shimmers 'til the pavement starts
Just like snowfall, we shimmered through December
Like snowfall, we shimmered together but we had to part
