The Alchemist

from Nowhere & Now by That Dream Was Our Life

/

lyrics

Drag my fear out like the summer
Like it would end if I let go
I don't want you to forget me
Or fade like ashes over snow
The blue is brighter when it's colder
I want to see it through your eyes
Can we love the world as it is
When all it offers are goodbyes

You could be the apologist
The blood spilled on the floor
Love is the masochist that always asks for more

I can't keep this up forever
What if there's nothing left for me
What is real & what's imagined
What is and what isn't meant to be
Your voice is music in the distance
A song that's singing you to sleep
We'll laugh & hold on to this moment
Like it was something we could keep

You could be the alchemist
That turns the air to gold
Love is the masochist that always asks for more

The things we love become our stories
Our stories become our lives
But I can't tell you how to read yours
You can't tell me how to read mine

You could be the alchemist
That turns the air to gold
Love is the masochist that always asks for more
