don't look back

 

..

 

 

So long,

 

There should have been some way to 

Let you know,

But then, 

I've never heard of ice turning back to snow,

So I had to go.

 

So many times I dreamed of this,

And I thought you'd be here by my side,

Nothing is ever as it seems,

So make sure from now on

You enjoy the ride.

And when,

 

We picked fresh blueberries and

Climbed the hill

Goin' home,

And we used to chase those fireflies in the dark,

Never lose our way.

 

So many times I dreamed of this,

And I thought you'd be here by my side,

Nothing is ever as it seems,

So make sure from now on

You enjoy the ride.

 

《~》

 

It's time,

 

The streetlights just came on

And I see

The color of 

"Same ol'",

It's time we chased those dreams into the dark,

There should have been some way.

 

Hey,

So I just wanted

you to know,

 

So many times I dreamed of this,

And I thought you'd be here by my side,

Nothing is ever as it seems,

So make sure from now on

You enjoy the ride.
