When I stepped out of the house
How could I know those words we shared would be our last?
And the world would come down around us
Ooh, where the window screen just won't budge
And your image still lives, reflecting in headlights, tears, and skin
I would give anything

If I could have my way I'd have you stay
But in my manic memory, you remain my everything
If I could hear your voice, what would you say?
Look how far you've come, son, you've already won

Wishing my faith upon it
Here we go, one, one, one, one
This can't be the way
I dreamt it could be
So far away, emptied of all
All of my love
So goodnight, my king
Goodnight and goodbye

My grip pressed tight to the wheel
The Sun in my eyes
To greet me back
To a world that can't be real

If I could have my way I'd have you stay
But in my manic memory, you remain my everything
If I could hear your voice, what would you say?
Look how far you've come, son, you've already won

Wishing my faith upon it
Here we go, one, one, one, one
The stone shares the name
While the dirt holds nothing
Words will impart
The strength to move, to start
This life will not wait
With the pain I try to tame
The fire in this heart
And the truth that we all
Are going to lose someone

Oh, when my memories die
I will lose all of you, and I'm not ready
To let you go, oh, no
And through the waves I row
To an end so near, she's coy, she's calling

Be patient, it's your time to let go
Of the tender moments that won't come tomorrow
Words no longer have a way of conveying the need to say
And as the moment mounts, I wish forever you could stay

I want everyone to stay around, always hold on to me
Forever, to wherever we go
I want everyone to stay around
Always hold on to me
Forever, to wherever we go
I want everyone to stay around
Always hold on to me
Forever, to wherever we go
