Heart Beats

We left winter behind

Shorter days and long nights

Were all that was holding us back

From people we knew we would find

Open air wears you thin

They say you'll love again

But love's an equation to them

Get out what it is you put in

I will look back

I will hold fast

To this

Your heart beats

For another day

I still believe

You love me

But in a different way

The night falls

The city lay asleep

Among the crowds

We both know

You're my only dream

I'm starting to see

Where we went wrong

The lives that we lead

Will weave on their own

You can't climb so high

And still see the ground

You're on your way up

I'm on my way down

Looking back where we were

There's no way to be sure

Things could have gone other ways

But you'd follow me to today

We'll take up separate lives

And in the space that divides

A reach for the best of what was

And leave all that wasn't behind

I will look back

I will hold fast

To this

Your heart beats

For another day

I still believe

You love me

But in a different way

The night falls

The city lay asleep

Among the crowds

We both know

You're my only dream

(Strings)

Your heart beats

For another day

I still believe

You love me

But in a different way

The night falls

The city lay asleep

Among the crowds

We both know

You're my only dream
