Walk The Last Mile

I am shipwrecked in the night
I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice
Say "Dive into these pools of blue"
But I tripped over you
I curse these cool whispering lights
I curse the things that keep me from you
Again my patience makes the climb
Will my tears buy me time?
In your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You're at the center of everything I do
Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you
I heard you say "Dissolve in my arms
And run to fall in these meadows"
But you're just a memory
From a mocking old dream
But I cling to my dreams
I'm drawn to things that kill me
It's safer to pretend
But I'll deceive myself again
I your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You're at the center of everything I do
Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you
I've seen the whole world turn to gold
It's just like a fairground ride
Sometimes it turns out
That the tyrants are the pearls
You'll always know, someone loves you in this world
I want to burn like I burn
I want to burn like I burn
I wake up in the harsh light
Spilled my heart in a cold night
I've got too much time to kill
I wrote you're name upon my wall
I your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You're at the center of everything I do
