We met like strangers, for the first time around It's like my feet took off, searching for the ground And acting casually we talked about the rain Talked about the rain, talked about the rain, talked about the rain Clouded by those words I could not see the graceful birds Taking off and crossing the sea And it was pouring, and I was the one to blame The hollow echoes of a time gone by, so slow My voice is fading and tuning in so low Tuning in so low Clouded by those words When we were done, I turned around and walked away I heard the ringing of those last words you would say You turned as well and watched the sun go down Watched me leave this town (watched me leave this town) Clouded by those words I could not see the graceful birds Taking off and crossing the sea So lost in time and free ♪ I need to go, so I can rise and find my way I will let go, so I can fly, reach for the stars This is my time to be praised and shine And hide those darkened eyes I'm burning, I'm burning, burning so bad Bridges burning down, I never turned around With steady footsteps walking one by one, leaving all behind Ambitions rising high, strengthening inner tide My heart accelerates and hate evaporates
