[00:00.97]Thinking back, it seems that I
[00:10.35]can lie beside you as I never truly did,
[00:25.84]in afterglow -
[00:30.81]no afterwords at all.
[00:37.36]Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead;
[00:48.40]only paying words out in strings of half-forgotten sentiments...
[00:58.18]I mean...
[01:03.76]I meant...
[01:09.78]I never really quite could say the way it was.
[01:21.74]The first time that we met I said 'I bet that she's the one',
[01:27.48]but I was talking to myself then, as always.
[01:33.52]As time went by our steps entwined, unwritten lines drew taut
[01:38.85]and I tried to find a way to make it all safe...
[01:45.16]Into the play - what a production! -
[01:47.71]into the days and ever more suction:
[01:50.35]you hold me close, but hold me farther
[01:52.95]away from yourself - I make me a martyr,
[02:01.13]for pain and love go hand in hand...
[02:06.78]And hand in hand go you and my friend,
[02:10.04]you are his and I am yours and just cannot evade you;
[02:17.79]my days a dream, my nights unseemly,
[02:21.02]stolen moments all I live for,
[02:23.74]but theft is no way to persuade you
[02:28.58]to come with me, leave him behind you;
[02:31.45]my hurtful eyes try to remind you
[02:34.43]it's all I can do to keep from screaming
[02:36.93]'I love you, I love you!' - I wish I was dreaming,
[02:46.98]but the steps we take all leave footprints...
[03:19.95]Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown:
[03:28.95]you will leave him or I'll be left here, alone.
[03:38.57]Either way someone loses someone
[03:42.72]but I won't mind that, I just would quite like to know
[03:48.81]who we love the most -
[03:50.31]well, I guess that's ourselves.
[03:53.14]The days are strange, at night we're strangers,
[03:56.66]lie in bed and lie inside our heads,
[04:00.32]we come no closer than as dancers.
[04:05.12]Your eyes are change, your presence danger,
[04:08.13]won't look me in the face and yet
[04:11.01]you kiss and make up the answer
[04:16.37]to all the questions that fly unanswered, unreasoned -
[04:19.72]death in the sky, death in the season.
[04:22.63]If you leave me now, it might nearly kill me...
[04:25.54]Remember me?
[04:27.38]Remember we three?
[04:38.46]It all seemed so important at the time,
[04:43.89]we came so close to wrecking all our lives,
[04:49.95]and now it's all just song lines.
[04:55.79]Time heals,
[05:01.18]time heals -
[05:07.88]oh, but I still bear the weals.
[06:52.88]Thinking back, it seems that I
[07:05.90]can lie beside you as I never truly did,
[07:19.93]in afterglow -
[07:25.87]no afterwords at all.
[07:32.46]Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead,
[07:43.36]only paying words out: streams of half-forgotten sentiments...
[07:53.31]I mean...
[07:59.74]I meant...
[08:04.82]I never really quite could say
[08:08.47]the way it was.
