You were tame when you left me
When you were wild I couldn't see
Just how much you meant in my world of solitude
And distorted memory
Never knew how to hold you
Part animal, part ingenue
But the fire in the sky was also in my heart
When your eyes changed from brown to blue
These are the things that I've realized
Now that it's too late I want a dream to come true
Alone in my antiquity replay a distant memory
♪
To protect my protector
Belied my feats to civilize
But your will was strong and you never acquiesced
And I could only fantasize
Such a keen sense of danger
This time it's let you down, it's true
Could you feel it through the door after you said goodbye?
Could you feel it coming though?
These are the things that I've realized
Now that it's too late I want a dream to come true
Alone in my antiquity replay a distant memory
These are the things that I tell myself
Drifting out in space among the planets and you
Ride out another alpha wave and say: "I couldn't save the savage"
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
I couldn't save the savage
