| This Lie |
these mountains rise up into carolina blue skies
and I travel down their roads
but never stop to wonder why
as these violet clouds give way
to sunset and to starshine
I look out to the sea,
but never stop to say goodbye, 'cause
We always said that we'd be friends
even though we always knew that this too could end
And we always held on for a little bit too long
even though we always knew that tomorrow this would be gone
These city lights blot out
the darkness that I crave
You can keep your sunrise,
but for me the twilight, please save...
And this concrete ocean
is to shallow for my keel
there's no wind to lift my sails
at least not that I feel
We always dreamed we'd sail away
but we never realized
that one of us would stay...
My ship will set sail
without you by my side
but I'll always remember
that we had nothing to hide
This moonlit woodland path
is music to my spirit
and I've learned to love the dark
as much as others fear it
and this ocean speaks to me in whispers
and in song - and it begs my company
and pleads that I won't take too long
'Cause I always try to run away
but now that I've got a reason,
I think that I might stay-
And I could stand and stare out
over miles of rolling tide
And I finally feel like I've got
nothing to hide...
No, nothing to hide...
