lyrics

I wonder if the clouds in my sky were to disappear
Would I smile or just turn my head?
Let myself feel more alive than dead?
I wonder if I found myself sitting across from you
Would I say how it felt that day?
Or just turn my head and walk away?
I wonder just why
I had such high hopes for you
But were my hopes too steep for you?
All your promise was just one more promise you couldn’t keep
We drifted together like hands on a ticking clock
Destined to touch and then depart
The center holds then things fall apart
When we drifted away you said it was no one’s fault
“Just cause it’s gone doesn’t mean it’s dead”
I just smiled and turned my head
When I drift back
I remember just why
I had such high hopes for you
But were my hopes too steep for you?
All your promise was just one more promise you couldn’t keep
I had such high hopes for you
But were my hopes too steep
Such high hopes for you
All your promise was just one more promise you couldn’t keep
