When I no longer know
Where youre going, and where youve been
It makes these nights stretch out forever
I know that this cant last forever
I see your future now
Late nights and familiar songs
That make you feel like youre so clever
And make you think that you were never wrong But I know Ill just sit back and observe
In disbelief I ever thought that we could make this work
I go through this again and again
Cause it was easier to stay than to start over again The last thoughts of me clear from your mind
Taken by the hands of time
The last thoughts of me clear from your mind When I no longer go
To the places we came to be
It makes my distant heart grow farther
Away from everything you had in reach
It may sound cold to you
But Im feelin alive again
You gave me everything I needed
To break away and throw it in the wind But I know youll make it hard to avoid
The awkward moments round the town
Because your heart is a void
I dont see how we did it this long
But now youll wish you never made me write this song The last thoughts of me clear from your mind
Taken by the hands of time
The last thoughts of me clear from your mind I thought I told you about this time I used to think you were the light at the end of the dock
Now Im lost because I never ever thought it would stop
So let me slip out like a ghost that never meant any harm
And pretty soon youll think of me and wonder, where was the charm?
