lyrics

The room explodes with shards of gold
The sunlight filling up the holes
Where all the pictures used to be
Of all my fading memories
The air is rising off the street
The smell of possibility
The ladder shakes as I climb down
I'll miss this view, I'll miss these sounds

But I'll never look back in time

The morning sunlight melts the past
The canyons echo off the glass
I guess I should have known somehow
What's done is done can't change it now
My hands let go I hit the street
A thousand bodies swallow me
I wish they'd take me out to sea
Wash my conscience, make it clean

So I'll never look back in time
Till all of my love is blind

The sun is gone, the motion fades
Tomorrow you'll be far away
I never think of what to say in time

Is all this wandering good for something?
