Close To You

The flowers of the new and laughter of the past

They're beautiful like you, beauty unsurpassed

Gone with a whisper, you fall asleep like death

Breaking through the earth, your smile shines again

My empty gratitude, another empty thank you

I finally learnt regret from words I've always said

Never meant to speak to hurt, yet it hurt to put in words

Goodbye wherever you are, goodbye unbroken heart

In truth I want to feel, the truth I want to see

I'm trying to embrace your drifting heart and smile

Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes

I keep on looking forward at you, hoping that your light will never pass me by

I wonder what the stars that sparkle in your eyes are hiding from my mind

Hiding from my open heart and from your hoping heart

Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I'll stay

As long as I can hold your hand again and again, forever, I will find my way

You may never answer back my call, but you smile back at me with grace

And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from

What I see will melt all away

With my tears

A shape of broken line will never be the same

It'll never find new life as a body of remains

A soul without a form, endlessly it'll chase

But will my broken heart find another place?

In truth I want to feel, the truth I'll never see

I'm trying to erase how far we've walked in miles

Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears as I look up at the sky

I keep on looking forward at it hoping that I'll find you soon enough in time

I wonder if the stars that sparkle in my eyes will eventually subside

Hiding from my endless heartbeat, from my endless heartbeat

Together, you and I will always be alive, committed, close to you I'll stay

As long as I can hold your hand again and again, then maybe I will find a way

I can never travel back in time, but they smile back at me, those days

And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from

What I see will melt all away

With my tears

Replaying time again, replaying time again

Repeating time again, repeating time again

Reflected in my heart, reflected in my heart

Your never ending laughter

Papyrus

(Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears)

Can't you feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes?

I keep on looking forward at you hoping that in time your light will pass me by

Now I know the stars that sparkle in your eyes are guiding me to light

Guiding to my open heart and to your open heart

Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I'll stay

This time will never hold my tears or hold my feelings down they pour like silent rain

All the colors forming back the life I knew when all remained the same

Somehow in a finite time, this time I'll find my way out

And I see I've barely reached you

And your heart
