lyrics

what a time to be alive
looking out my window
gazing at the mountainside
wondering where the time goes

are you home alone my love
looking out yours too
on the other side of the 405
running out of things to do

the sunshine seems oppressive
now that gathering's taboo
what I wouldn't give to step into the warmth
and embrace you

I'm not afraid of dying
I know that when i'm gone
I'll be at peace and leave memories
behind in all my songs

still I'm afraid of losing you
though I wonder if I could
and so i close my eyes and pray
that nothing lasts for good

if we'd known what tides were turning
would we have made amends
instead of putting walls up
turning lovers into friends

we often have to lose some things
to learn their simple worth
and so it's been for all the years
we've walked upon the earth

the silence seems oppressive
when you're used to noise and light
the ringing in my ears is getting louder with each night

i'm not afraid of dying
I know that when i'm gone
I'll be at peace and leave memories
behind in all my songs

still I'm afraid of losing you
though I know I never could
and so I close my eyes and pray
that nothing lasts for good

nothing lasts for good
nothing lasts for good
