Walking for Two
Wake up in a cold sweat every night In my dreams we speak so casually Laughing, talking, learning from you as I always did Still in R.E.M. I am in disbelief Underneath my eyelids I was moving rapidly Searching, looking everywhere for you Heartrate rising, beating faster, breathing shallowly That blissful hope I felt was crushed by reality Flashback to the ER, we are holding hands and I Wonder if you're searching out for me Seeking justice just does not seem satisfactory But it's all I can do to keep my sanity. Thought I'd say goodbye just once - I say it every night In my dreams we speak so casually. Thought I'd say goodbye just once - I say it every night In my dreams we speak so casually. Now I'm walking for two Every single dream I promise will be seen Now I'm walking for you Every single dream I promise will be seen.
I'm looking through old photographs, knowing that I don't hold a chance Cause moments approach, then they pass, into memories but they never seem to last Is it hopeless? so cold I can't cope and cloak the shivers alone so I sit here Closing my eyes so that I can remember, but I know you're not just lost in adventure
Will you ever be back, my tether, my everything my better half Hard to cut the rope and sever that bond we planned to have forever, damn I can rekindle the flame momentarily and revisit the day that you stared at me Told me we would never be apart, and you were right, you will never leave my heart But the imprint of faces is lifted with age and I wish that I stayed with you, laid with you Taped everyday but it's just too late, I sift through the trails in this prison of fate but If I could go back, I'd get an audio or video recording and sit with the sonics of the midi and store it inside the cloud… orbiting around me constantly storming The warning of your voice, and it's pounding at my core… But the sound of it is dwarfed by your countenance, counting down From this lighthouse tower, lights out power out, towering over me Cowering down; what a sobering moment, I hold onto the shouts Of your voice in my visions of you, but I have no choice ‘cause I've got so much living to do So I spend my days time traveling, stuck in today but I'm battling To go back, but I know that too many new clothes are thrown on my coat rack Now I'm screaming for those days back, fearing you'll become a needle in a haystack I try to process the news but I'm mentally shot since the hospice every thought's like My mind's a faucet and I lose you with every drop, I'm cursed trying to reverse this memory loss.
