I've got an old soul that keeps seeking closure
From the days when I felt that I was much bolder
Those days so free, well I know they can't save me
They can't save me now
But like a dead engine, I'm never turning over
I'd hit the gas but I'm never getting closer
Still all I see are those rain soaked streets
And they're so close to me
But I'm like stone
I watch petals turn to snow
Just like you'd go
On to new things
And as my heart grew old
Leathered and strong
I saw yours shine on
To all new dreams
Have I forgotten the way back to that spring?
Well it wasn't the end of the world
But it was the end of mine
A love grew from beneath the earth but it only happened for a time
Well it wasn't the end of the world but it sure had felt like yours and mine
A love grew from beneath the dirt but it only lasted for a time
I've got an old soul that keeps getting older
While this town has been razed too many times over
Though I haunt their streets, I know they can't save me
They can't save me now
But like a dead man, I'm never turning over
The lights are on but I'm never getting closer
So is this goodbye all I need
Or is there still meaning?
'Cause I'm like a stone
I watch petals turn to snow
Just like you'd grow
Into new things
As my heart grew cold
Leathered and strong
I saw yours shine on
To all new dreams
Have I forgotten the way back to that spring?
Well it wasn't the end of the world
But it was the end of mine
A love grew from beneath the earth but it only happened for a time
Well it wasn't the end of the world but it sure had felt like yours and mine
A love grew from beneath the dirt but it only lasted for a time
For a time
For a time
For a time
There's no true peace and there's no true relief
With such glowing lights behind me
So, like a thief, I'll have to steal its glory
To inspire future stories
Well it wasn't the end of the world
But it was the end of mine
A love grew from beneath the earth but it only happened for a time
Well it wasn't the end of the world but it sure had felt like yours and mine
A love grew from beneath the dirt but it only lasted for a time
For a time
For a time
For a time
