Without You

Been running for a long, long time
Thinking it was the only way
Ran so far, began to forget what it was all for.

Thought I needed to hide from the darkness
Believing it was the only way
Hid so deeply, started to get used to the cold.

Finally started to slow it down
Down enough to feel the distance 
Distant enough to hear the silence
Silent enough to need you.

You told me this is the only way.

Didn't want to see
Because it hurts too much 
Because it hurts to let go
Because it hurts missing you.

This is the only way
You keep reminding me.

I can touch the water down my back
The warmth surrounds my skin
I can hear the words cut through me
But I feel your hands move gently.

I stare out the moving window
A world between you and I
The rain exists even now
But I feel safe in your presence. 

Can I rest here for awhile?
I know this moment won't last forever.
Just give me this time to look again.
Let me remember you better this time. 

Will you forgive me?
All the times I pushed you away.
Every blind eye I chose to turn. 
I thought it was the only way. 

Rest here for awhile
This moment won't last forever
Take time to look again
Remember it all better

What is there to forgive
Time pushes everything away
A blind eye sees nothing
Love is the only way
