Lyric

The buzz of the day, people passing by

Acting like nothing’s wrong under the sky

Time flows on, steady and slow

The only place where the world seems to know

The paper bags sway as you turn around

Your shadow is frozen on the ground

"Which one is better?" you ask with a smile

I’m lost for words for a little while

My heartbeat falters, just a second too late

Caught in the pull of an unseen fate

I’m so indecisive, you laugh at the sight

But this distance between us felt so right

Now it just scares me, this peace we hold

A story of warmth that’s turning cold

I don’t want to let go, I’m fighting the fear

But I feel the end is drawing near

This persistent pulse deep in my chest

Where the black light smolders, never at rest

I imagine the moment I can't turn back

Trying to push the shadows off the track

But still, I want to protect it all

Reasons are words that are far too small

This fragile future, slipping away

The "normal" life we live every day

I just want you here, where I can reach

To keep the silence, to mend the breach

Sunset colors are drowning the street

Today is ending, bitter and sweet

The weight of the "ordinary" pulls me down

Hidden behind the masks of this town

Something is coming, I feel it so near

The more I look away, the more it’s clear

No pride in being chosen, no glory in sight

Just a man standing here in the fading light

If I could have stayed in the dark, unaware

How much easier would it be to bear?

But still, I want to protect it all

A feeling more certain than right or wrong

The nameless terror, the point of no return

The bridge I’m crossing, the bridges I burn

I’ll carry it all, the heavy and the light

I’ll keep on walking through the night

Somewhere far away, they’re drawing a line

Connecting the dots, a design of mine

Searching for meaning in coincidences

Breaking down all of my defenses

The more I pretend that I don’t see

The closer the center comes to me

The dots are gathering, forming a shape

A destiny from which there’s no escape

And there in the middle, written in flame

I see the letters... I see my name

But still, I want to protect it all

The one single truth that will never fall

The dots they gather, they aren't the key

They aren't the answer to who I should be

But deep in my soul, it’s becoming so clear

My only purpose is staying right here

To stay by your side, my everything

Even if the world begins to sing

I have a reason to stay in this place

Looking for home in your familiar face

The night arrives

Without a sound

Shadows overlap

Upon the ground

I thought I heard a voice call my name

...But still

I won't look back
