Missed the point
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.
In silence, I like to think aloud
You say this is the end
I know it's not the end
I took a picture of heaven when we broke down
Across the Cheyenne Line
I never will forget
The color of that sky, an endless night
Chorus:
We missed the point of living
So caught up in this moment
We threw out our convictions
And traded them for substance
This life we hold so dear
Will fade in time
And so it goes
No we won't let go
If you are alive
Then be truly alive
Just open up your eyes
Pay attention to the signs
The color of this sky, an endless night
Chorus
It's about time
That you felt some frame of mind
This life we hold so dear
Will fade in time
Chorus
And so it goes
No we won't let go
And so it goes
No, you know we won't let go
This life you hold so dear
Will fade in time
