Takes a lot to free it, to face my ghost Carry on or fade away It's happening beyond control Side glances, holding back after class Walking slowly, racing doubts Oh I can feel it drift from us Oh I can't take this for much longer Oh if I could only know for once How could I think that you were-? How could I think that you were mine? Another summer over, a year since gone All the kids are on the cliffs Wondering how it would have been With you rolling around in the rye Falling slowly, fleeting chances, endless highs As if it wasn't obvious As if it wasn't obvious As if it wasn't obvious As if it wasn't obvious I know it's too late for us now But I hold in the thought That you've stayed there all along Next to mine, a lone soul, a wrenched heart A phantom child in your eyes, oh no Oh I can feel it drift from us Oh I can't take this for much longer Oh if I could only know for once How could I think that you were-? How could I think that you were-? How could I think that you were-? How could I think that you were mine?
