Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How they met is a mystery
Life passed by so quietly
All that's left are pictures and notes
That tell us of their hopes and plans
Journey's that would never end
It was of love that one of them wrote
[Verse 2]
We will walk through fire
Fly around the Sun
Walk the wire
Our dreams have just begun
[Verse 3]
They lived their lives impatiently
Time passed by accordingly
All that's left are pictures and notes
That hide away the pain crept in
Doubt and envy froze their skin
A quiet grieve that none of them showed
[Verse 4]
For they would walk through fire
And reach out for the Moon
Walk the wire
Some dreams just end too soon
[Verse 5]
The wind could tell you a story
'Bout why some things came to pass
About friends and facing reality
Learning the hard way 'bout snakes in the grass
[Verse 6]
Take a look at the world
Slowly falling apart
Burying hatchets and digging up dirt
It's slowly been ruined
[Verse 7]
When your vision is blurred
And there's a hole in your heart
Lies won't shake you
Bend or break you
[Verse 8]
The wind could tell you a story
But then, what good would it do?
So let bygones be bygones
Snakes in the grass, they mean nothing to you
[Verse 9]
Take a look at the world
Slowly falling apart
Burying hatchets and digging up dirt
It's slowly been ruined
[Verse 10]
When your vision is blurred
And there's a hole in your heart
Lies won't shake you
Bend or break you
[Verse 11]
Love will always find you
Captivate and blind you
Take you by the hand
Breaking barriers and fences
[Verse 12]
Oh, they tell you love is like a river
They promise she'll deliver
To set our hearts alight
And get you through the night
[Verse 13]
Love defies all reason
Used by charm and treason
Once it's in command
The quest is cruel and relentless
[Verse 14]
Sometimes love's a funeral pyre
Kindled by desire
To set our hearts alight
And make the world seem bright
[Verse 15]
Another night, another day
Another hunter on his way
The ride goes on and on and on
The wheels are turnin'
[Verse 16]
Another room, another face
Out of touch and out of place
You'll see my mantra keeps on runnin'
Through your head
[Verse 17]
The river's wide and dark and deep
The roads are rugged, long and steep
And lives are harder when the sea's
Are wildly churning
[Verse 18]
It keeps you wanting more and more
Knocking on every other door
Until the day you find
The Devil in your bed
[Verse 19]
Still the waves rolling silently
Whispering voice in the sky
Don't speak, don't make a sound
Let's be gracious, let sleeping dogs lie
[Verse 20]
Love can be gentle, love is strong
It'll try to touch you, then it's gone
You'll spend your days in sweet remorse
The silent journey
[Verse 21]
'Cause we're apart of a machine
That runs on magic gasoline
To take you all the way to paradise
In bed
[Verse 22]
Now the waves rolling violently
Screaming voice in the sky
Slowly, keep me from going
Will somebody teach me to fight?
[Verse 23]
Walk through fire
Reach out for the Moon
Walk the wire
Your dreams will end too soon
