lyrics

I can't breathe anymore
without drowning in your perfume.
I can't see anymore
without falling into your bloom.
Down the chaliced path into the past.

Did I walk away with nothing?
Did I refuse the truth?
Truly I've been spending all my time
walking back to you.

I clothed myself in my love for you
before I knew what love was.
And I didn't understand at all until I met you;
that's what time does.
Out of my head into your heart.

Did I walk away with nothing?
Did I refuse the truth?
Truly I've been spending all my life
walking back to you.

At the mountain pass they tell me I can't come back.
But I'm never coming back, no we don't want to come back.

I can't breathe anymore
wrapped in your embrace.
And I can't see anymore
but I feel you against my face.
To the unpromised vow into the now.

And I won't walk away with nothing.
No, I'll declare a truce.
Now I can spend all my time
and I won't walk away.
