Sky

Well, the news found me today
 A million steps away
 These things take time to travel, it would seem
 I can't even fall apart
 Really, now, where would I start?
 I swear we spoke last night, or did I dream?
 ♪
 And I can see you in my mind
 Your eyes now, they would shine
 Blue, the sky that made itself your name
 Oh God, can it be true?
 Why me, but more why you?
 When did it fall apart, when did we change?
 I remember the time we were seven years old
 When you let me kiss you on top of the world
 I come back to the memory, safe in my soul
 But now when I arrive, I find myself alone
 And I'm scared of the the day that I forget your face
 Hold on so tight but it still slips away
 I keep searchin' this hollow stone
 For the youth I used to know
 ♪
 In this summer I checked in
 Seemed like you were wearin' thin
 Said that you had seen a quiet sort of year
 Sounded older than before
 Like you'd lost another war
 As we spoke I heard you slowly disappear
 ♪
 And all the pills that you would take
 Just to help you stay awake
 Couldn't guide you on your way back home to shore
 The girl I used to know
 Well, I lost her years ago
 But knowin' that just makes this hurt much more
 Oh, comfort, oh, comfort, say how would it feel
 My hand starts to crack, my skin starts to peel
 When I die, will it ever have happened at all?
 In my heart I still wait for the day that you'll call
 And I'm sorry that I, didn't keep us in touch
 I didn't sit missin' you, not all that much
 And I'm sorry I let you go

 The youth I used to know.
