lyrics

The eve rolls 'round, finally here and you're beaming
Back to our teens, all your twenties have robbed you blind
They can't conceive that we're both in attendance
I'd leave my hive if no one ever asked me why

You leap towards skies, will you ever fall faster?
I swallow it whole that you won't ever land, after all

Looking back, I never thought you'd say (that) it's so, so early on
Going forth, I'll stay in line, you'll keep me in my place
Four years of fortune reads, words I'd come to live by
were nothing more than make-believe, the vision now retired

The scene plays on, spins round and round, for days
I try and try to keep these thoughts at bay

Looking back, I never thought you'd say (that) it's so, so early on
Going forth, I'll stay in line, you'll keep me in my place
Four years of fortune reads, words I'd come to live by
were nothing more than make-believe, the vision now retired
