you say you never look back on life

a book you've already read

the pages blew by and so you did

so you did

you'd never look back for me

though I might be here waiting

it was time to go and so you did

so you did



oh, come see why i've fallen

and where i've come back from



and stay to understand my name

you know i would for you



all i ever did was hear you talk

about making it up to me

i know it's too late,

but you never

did never did

i guess i'm holding out for life

just have to wait and see

forgive you is something that i never did

never did



chorus



you know that between these lifetimes

the sun is hovering high for you

and there i am holding up the sky

one last good-bye,

truth for true

you know i would for you



oh, come see why i've fallen

and where i've come back from

and stay to understand my name

you know i would for you



you know i would for you
