My absent friends
Some kindred souls
I stoke the fire
But miss its glow
My absent friends
You’re here but gone
It’s impossible until it happens
A sudden lack of love, the beauty shattered
The things I wish that I could still remember
The things I didn’t mean to take for granted
A lasting bond no matter whatsoever
No matter whatsoever
What we touch
We can always lose
A fleeting presence
Speaking in tongues
It’s impossible until it happens
When the music stops and silence hardens
The things I wish I didn’t take for granted
The days I wanted to relive forever
A lasting bond no matter whatsoever
No matter whatsoever
I look for words
In the wake of stars
Some friendly spirits
To show me the ropes
I look for words…
I never spoke
It’s impossible until it happens
Until the music stops and silence hardens
The things I wish that I could still remember
The things I didn’t mean to take for granted
A lasting bond no matter whatsoever
No matter whatsoever
