Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide

Oh, how long
Has it been I
Don't know
But it
Feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

Another glimpse of what coulda been
Another dream of the way that it never was
Falling back in the wilderness
Waking up rubbing salt in the cut

Oh, how long
Has it been I
Don't know
But it
Feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

It's an endless night
It's a starless sky
It's a hell that I call home
It's a long goodbye
On the other side
Of the only life I know

And it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
