Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm endlessly forgiving of the way I live my life
I'm late to come to wisdom and I'm late to see the light
I asked you for your favourite song, you played it to me twice
I knew the words by the time you dropped me home
Now those memories are distant but those memories are nice
Sustained me for a minute but I'm running out of time
I'm worried about the losses and the love I've left behind
I know I'm gone but I don't know where I'm going
[PreChorus]
I could have sworn I heard it this morning
Like your voice was a part of that wind
I felt important when I was yours and
I want it back more than I can admit, oh
[Chorus]
But I think about you often, lately, I
Have this dream about returning, safely
Will you be there
When I walk down that road?
Will you be there?
'Cause I'm so scared, that you won't
[Verse 2]
Eventually I'll come to see that nothing stays unsaid
Because it festers in my spirit till I'm restless in my bed
The dark is kept in business while the joy is left for dead
I guess the proof of that is now you're not around
Florence for a minute brought me closer to a God
Closer to the roots of this and why we try so hard
Why we cry until our vision's blurry just like the facade
How it lifts you up until it breaks you down
[PreChorus]
I could have sworn I heard it this morning
Like your voice was a part of that wind
I felt important when I was yours and
I want it back more than I can admit, oh
[Chorus]
But I think about you often, lately, I
Have this dream about returning, safely
Will you be there
When I walk down that road?
Will you be there?
'Cause I'm so scared, that you won't
[Chorus]
Feel the same as when I left you
Ancient times
Had a dream about returning
Is that just my pride?
Will you be there
When I walk down that road?
Will you be there?
'Cause I'm so scared, that you won't
