There was a year full of beauty and pain
We were just well-met there in a twin bed
But time is a thief and she fucks with my brain
Why would I tell you I still feel the same?
Gone is the boy who was fickle and dreaming
And opened his eyes to a life rearranged
Lost faith in the world when it got so insane
Why would I tell you I still feel the same, when I'm
Colder than I was, deeper than I was, stronger than I was
Older than I was, hopeful than I was, desperate than I was before?
Loyal as I am, jaded as I am, failing as I am, weary as I am
Giving as I am, tied to you as I am now!
Somehow the road brings it back into focus
That absence is golden, the longing is pure
It makes me remember what I knew before:
Home is a portal just open the door
So why am I a tiger, fearful and vain?
Chained to a fence and then told to be brave
Years of indifference, a body of pain, now I'm
Colder than I was, deeper than I was, stronger than I was
Older than I was, hopeful than I was, desperate than I was before
Loyal as I am, jaded as I am, failing as I am, weary as I am
Guilty as I am, tied to you as I am now. As I am now
Carry the burden of time slipping past us
And picking our pockets of wide-eyed joy
Let's call it kismet there in our twin bed...
How could I possibly feel like that?
With all of our years full of beauty and pain
Why would I tell you I still feel the same?
