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?
