In a dream you were there, it was real
I could almost see the wrinkles in your skin, Images so vivid still
Perhaps the next best thing to being there
Is knowing where you are
Though I cannot cross the chasm
I believe you're moving on
God, if you can hear me,
Take this lump out of my throat.
It seems I only laugh in photographs of melting snow and video but, oh
This is my favorite time of year. At least it used to be when she was here

Well, it rained again today, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it
Right before my eyes
(wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it)
But why talk about the weather
When we could very well be selling umbrellas
I've got my own opinions on how to treat a love like this

He should have held her closer,
When it was all he had to do
When it was all he had to prove to all of his closest friends
That she was a bright and beaming light, a beacon in the night
I rest on a vision of the shoreline glistening, and the two of us in love

When the sun went tonight, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it
Right in front of me,
You painted the sky in a violet scene
And I sat there in my car, shedding the tears that I could never have let you see
Beneath that azure moonlit sky I felt you right there with me
I know you're right here with me

Snap back to it fall in line and let it go, what you got is a memory

He should have held her closer, when it was all he had to do
When it was all he had to prove to all of his closest friends
that she was a bright and beaming light, a beacon in the night
I rest on a vision of the shoreline glistening, and the two of us in love

When the sun goes down tonight, I'll set my eyes on the shoreline

I'm gonna hold her closer, as if it's all I have to do
As if it's all I have to prove to all of my closest friends
that she is a bright and beaming light, a beacon in the night
I rest on a vision of the two of us in love
