Lyrics
[! intro]
[>>>4\7/0\6§9/8\3/2<<<]
[hollow cassette vocals]
[trembling sensual male voice]
[Verse 1][trembling sensual male voice]
A time long ago
It was only you and I
In fields where we’d roam
Underneath the endless sky
[Pre-Chorus]
But now the days are gone
And I’m left to carry on
With shadows of our past
In a world that moves so fast
[Instant Shift]
[Slow, Sad Midwest Emo, Post-Hardcore]
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Do you see me
Standing right in front of you
Scattered memories
Time and place holding true
No more goodbyes
I can't lose you again
But I can feel them fleeing, flying right out of my head
[Pause]
[Pre-Chorus]
And now the nights are long
I’m left to sing this song
With echoes of your voice
In a world without a choice
[Chorus]
I see only glimpses of you in my mind
Scattered memories
So hard to find
My dreams feel so far away
If they could only stay
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
I see only glimpses of you in my mind
Scattered memories
So hard to find
My dreams feel so far away
If they could only stay
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
When I see your face
Something's been misplaced
Static evermore
Gone without a trace
How can I restore
What we had before
The more time passes, the less I know who you are anymore
[Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
But now the lights are low
And I’m left here all alone
With fragments of our love
In a world that feels so rough
[Chorus]
I see only glimpses of you in my mind
Scattered memories
So hard to find
My dreams feel so far away
If they could only stay
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
[Spoken Vocals]
A scene tainted by time,
A vision clouded by fog
A voice dulled by static
A memory lost, scattered,
fleeting, fading, gone
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I see only glimpses of you in my mind
Scattered memories
So hard to find
My dreams feel so far away
If they could only stay
[Chorus]
I see only glimpses of you in my mind
Scattered memories
So hard to find
My dreams feel so far away
If they could only stay
[Outro]
IF THEY COULD ONLY STAY
[End]
[End]
