Forgive Me

Time slips out of my pocket,
It's like a shattered watch I tried to forget,
All hands stopped dead in their tracks,
As if the whole world stood still,
I pause for a moment because I still feel,
A deep longing for your forgiveness,
Like the trees long for the sun,
Or the autumn leaves that wait for the fall

Even though I'm just a man,
I feel the weight of my mistakes,
Like an anchor holding down my chest,
But I feel your hand pulling me up,
You make the numbness crawl out of my skin,
Making my body shake,
All the hands of my watch are still stopped on you,
I'll search for you until my last breath

I can't make it on my own

The sand in my hourglass has frozen,
Suspended in a state of confusion,
Mistaken for broken,
Sooner or later it'll float like a ship,
Finally making it out of rough seas,
Back into the harbour,
I just hope it'll carry you back on the tide,
Like the first gust of wind that brought me to your side,
Years ago,
Before I watched my world fall apart in front of me,
Right in front of me

I've got a lot of thoughts of you,
Just swimming in my mind,
Beating against currents in hopes,
Of finding calmer waters,
To a place where I can sleep at night,
Or form my thoughts into words,
For I can sing about how vague and confusing everything is,
But I can't seem to find my way without the sun in my sky

I can't make it on my own

Heavy with the weight of fear on my shoulders,
I hold on to the pillar of hope,
That one day I'll look out my window and find you,
Standing by a lamp post in a long forgotten alley,
And see you looking back at me,
Never changing,
Just how we met at the beginning of my story,
On fresh paper and wet ink,
I know you're waiting,
I knew once,
That the light above me will never fade,
In the most sincere way,
Lift the veil from my eyes,
Set me free
