Takes a lot to free it, to face my ghost
Carry on or fade away
It's happening beyond control
Side glances, holding back after class
Walking slowly, racing doubts
Oh I can feel it drift from us
Oh I can't take this for much longer
Oh if I could only know for once
How could I think that you were-?
How could I think that you were mine?
Another summer over, a year since gone
All the kids are on the cliffs
Wondering how it would have been
With you rolling around in the rye
Falling slowly, fleeting chances, endless highs
As if it wasn't obvious
As if it wasn't obvious
As if it wasn't obvious
As if it wasn't obvious
I know it's too late for us now
But I hold in the thought
That you've stayed there all along
Next to mine, a lone soul, a wrenched heart
A phantom child in your eyes, oh no
Oh I can feel it drift from us
Oh I can't take this for much longer
Oh if I could only know for once
How could I think that you were-?
How could I think that you were-?
How could I think that you were-?
How could I think that you were mine?
