Lyrics
Forgotten Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wouldn't be in this state now
If I hadn't seen you smile
Straight away like a knife through my heart
The memory pulled like a child
I'd nearly forgotten the time
When I had been by your side
But seems no-one can be sure of a thing
When love rushes in like the tide
CHORUS:
I'm on a wave that carries me somewhere
I don't want to stay, I don't want to go
I'm running aground
I need you to save me
Save me or let me drown
There you were like a photograph
A picture frame in my eyes
I would never have thought you'd step out
And run all the way here tonight
Helpless strangers with nothing to say
Not knowing just where to begin
Both of us thinking we'd like to get out
But being like moths in a flame
REPEAT CHORUS
