Close To You

The flowers of the new and laughter of the past
They’re beautiful like you, beauty unsurpassed
Gone with a whisper, you fall asleep like death
Breaking through the earth, your smile shines again

My empty gratitude, another empty thank you
I finally learnt regret from words I’ve always said
Never meant to speak to hurt, yet it hurt to put in words
Goodbye wherever you are, goodbye unbroken heart

In truth I want to feel, the truth I want to see
I’m trying to embrace your drifting heart and smile

Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes
I keep on looking forward at you, hoping that your light will never pass me by
I wonder what the stars that sparkle in your eyes are hiding from my mind

Hiding from my open heart and from your open heart

Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I’ll stay
As long as I can hold your hand again and again, forever, I will find my way
You may never answer back my call, but you smile back at me with grace
And everything remains the same, this pain I’ll soon awake from

What I see will melt all away
With my tears

A shape of broken line will never be the same
It’ll never find new life as a body of remains
A soul without a form, endlessly it’ll chase
But will my broken heart find another place?

In truth I want to feel, the truth I’ll never see
I’m trying to erase how far we’ve walked in miles

Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears as I look up at the sky
I keep on looking forward at it hoping that I’ll find you soon enough in time
I wonder if the stars that sparkle in my eyes will eventually subside

Hiding from my endless heartbeat, from my endless heartbeat

Together, you and I will always be alive, committed, close to you I’ll stay
As long as I can hold your hand again and again, then maybe I will find a way
I can never travel back in time, but they smile back at me, those days
And everything remains the same, this pain I’ll soon awake from

What I see will melt all away
With my tears

Replaying time again, replaying time again
Repeating time again, repeating time again
Reflected in my heart, reflected in my heart
Your never ending laughter

Papyrus

(Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears)

Can’t you feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes?
I keep on looking forward at you hoping that in time your light will pass me by
Now I know the stars that sparkle in your eyes are guiding me to light

Guiding to my open heart and to your open heart

Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I’ll stay
Time will never hold my tears or hold my feelings down they pour like silent rain
All the colors forming back the life I knew when all remained the same
Somehow in a finite time, this time I’ll find my way out

And I see I’ve barely reached you
And your heart
