lyrics

This is how it ends
In summer heat & wind
The water's flooding in
Even ghosts abandon ship
They only haunt the ones who live

Charmed by your city once again
Tracing circles on your skin
A light I can't resist
I'm holding you but nothing sticks
I know that we won't win

This is how it hurts
Perfume clinging to my shirt
Blood descends over the earth
A hand rises from the dirt
Half-measures never work

This is how it dies
Eyes burning dark & wild
A flame loses half its light
Can you bring it back to life
With the magic of a smile

The only one who asks about me
The only one who ever knows a thing about me
When you had something to tell me
Two years disappeared beneath me

This is how it ends
You've got a shiny life to live
Steps you can't retrace
A name you cannot say
If you stay all is forgiven

The only one who asks about me
The only one who ever gives a damn about me
When I had something to tell you
I didn't say it just to hear you say you love me too
