Josh Schroeder - Elegy lyrics

The clock struck 4:45 when I closed my eyes Now I awake, I see my life Ordered by disarray, Rocked by the waters Rocked by the broken waves All my anchors have gone away A handshake, a smile, and a warm embrace Framed black and white But this picture could never measure up To my memory of you And I'll treasure the times we had But I can't help but regret that I wasted our days away Your loss has taken all of my heart, my balance is gone You are the only one who could bring me back To my feet, but I'm alone Set me straight again, I have lost all my direction You stayed around to say goodbye When the time came I disengaged One errant choice was all that brought me a year A year of remorse I've sealed my fate And every day, I'm forced to relive how I ran away Ran away from you There are so many things that I wish I could say But instead here I am, standing before your grave And I hope you know That who you were is who I want to be When I see you reaching out in my dreams Its like you were never gone The moment that we speak I know Though its been so long That none of my mistakes matter You've brought me the peace I needed To part with you So set sail for one last time Let these waves carry you beyond the tides Rest and you will find It won't be long until we meet again But until that day comes I'll hold you in my heart All my anchors have gone You should know That everything you were has meant everything to me
