Intro
03:25
|
|||
|
On the sands of the haunted beach
Moving together in harmony
In the swirl of sprites and little stars
Never knowing we'd end in so far, so far
We were innocent and oblivious
We were wide eyed and curious
And I remember everything, everything she ever said
Looking back we were hanging, hanging over the edge
In a state of always feeling, feeling magic and awe
Looking back was only hiding
To foreshadow the fall
To foreshadow the fall
Were we ever in love
Or was it confusion?
Coming together in innocence
Were we ever in love
Or were we just blinded
Blind with desire to be in love?

The Fall
04:40
|
|||
|
By the dim glow of the fireplace
We fell to our knees
Tears running down her face
We fell to our knees
That old apartment of ours
So full of doubts, so full of shame
Still holding onto each other
Even though nothing will ever be the same
We divided our hearts
We let ourselves be pushed apart
No, I can't believe this
We pushed ourselves into our own darkness
Our paths began to blur everything we ever were
The light that we both loved
Had turned into black holes
And swallowed up our love
(x2)
So far from that ocean
So focused on one evil emotion
It hit me so hard I couldn't breathe
I know I had to go; I had to leave

The Last Embers
04:08
|
|||
|
The fire goes out in the dark room
The last embers crystalize at my feet
They form a path, they set my eyes
On the world that's in front of me oh
There's nothing left for me here (before me here)
I need a fresh start, I can't wait
She wants me to feel that fear (feel that fear)
(I'm running) That I'm running into the past to feel safe
And I know I can't go back in time
Someone like me can never go backward
Never go backward anyway
She cannot stop me but I know she's trying to make me feel
Guilty for running, guilty for running
Running away - I'm not running away
But she's wrong - It takes courage to fall (ooh)
Even if I'm falling forward,
It takes courage to become something more
And all along it was always my call
Even if I'm looking awkward
'Cause I'm going back to what made me happy before
What made me happy before
I'm not running away, I'm not going to go astray
My chance to break away, it's got to be this way (x2)

Final Transition
03:30
|
|||
|
It's time for the tension in our hearts to finally be cut
We're in different cities but our souls are just catching on
And we were so tangled mixed up in each other
Across this land in these satellites and wires
But now we're coming apart, coming apart
And unfettered
Saying the final goodbyes, making the final gestures
Right here and now underneath this bridge
Here we are again
For the last time we both know but is this really it?
Final transition
It feels like so much time was lost
Many moments going un-embraced
"Don't look back anymore", I say
Our paths are rising up and carrying us away
The crystal path it forms a light that gets brighter
She's drifting back, we're losing sight of each other
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry", she cries
"Me too", I tell her
Our last words are:
Farewell and Godspeed

Godspeed Act 1
04:22
|
|||
|
Things are starting to shift and change
Settling in and leaning in
Sense of awe, feeling amazed
Thought I'd never feel like this again
Going out on the town these days
Dancing up and down the brink
Filling me up with so much faith
We're both in motion, both in sync (ooh)
Getting to know you, looking into your eyes
I'm healing
I can forgive myself, the destination I caused
I'm feeling
Getting in sync with you, new colors and stars are forming
Ones I've never seen and I'm always with you
We're dancing, dancing
Throw yourself at me
I catch you and dip you up
You're holding on so tightly
You knew I wouldn't let you go
You're just what I needed
|

Godspeed Act 2
02:47
|
|||
|
While you're sleeping
And I'm wide awake by your side
I'm next to you glowing
I'm glowing like a nightlight
I'm ready to dance now
And I'm buzzing like a bee
When we move together
We're together in harmony
So wake up and dance
I've got my little speaker with me
We'll dance the night away
Dancing by our Christmas tree
They are snow made of sparks
Rising and falling
As we dance along the path
Rising and falling
|

Outro
04:15
|
|||
|
And you guide me to the source
to the end of the path
With little sparks and fires
Getting bigger and brighter
Like a tidal wave of love
It flows into a point
It makes an artifact
I hold it in my hands
I relive it all at once
I promise to never forget
A single tear like a key
Opens the portal for me
Now it's us and no one else
You're right there with me
Pushing me into myself
I'll see you on the other side
