lyrics

Feel my finger on the trigger once more
I was slipping on the tiles in your corridor.
Stop the thunder, stop the lighting in my head
I was more than what you said.


I was wrong to fall in love with you now
All you see and all you saw
in black and white, was it worth it after all?

Don’t you fight reason; it'll pass you by
It was a season, now let it die.

Drove through summer, drove the answers to Chapman’s peak.
Cold wind blowing, silence growing, but I heard him speak.
Count the frames, count the blessings in my life
but I was falling before ‘goodbye’
