lyrics

I took a picture
Just to prove that I was there
I'm always away
But my heart is right here

I'm caught up in a moment
Every second is stolen
All our watches are broken
I just wish it didn't have to end so often

If I run out of breath
Chasing this dream down
I could kick it at home forever
So you'll remember me now
And I hope that someday
Someday I can explain
That I thought of you
Every moment that I was away

You don't know me all that well
I know, I know
It's like you're looking at a stranger
Whenever I'm home

But you didn't see how I looked at you
The moment we met in that hospital room
I was too scared to get too close
Too close to you

If I run out of breath
Chasing this dream down
I could kick it at home forever
So you'll remember me now
And I hope that someday
Someday I can explain
That I thought of you
Every moment that I was away

Something's changed inside of me
Before you came along I wanted to
Leave this life behind
I was a wreck, I barely survived
I hope someday that you will hear this
And understand I was never
Ever around
I just wanted to make you proud

If I run out of breath
Chasing this dream down
I could kick it at home forever
So you'll remember me now
And I hope that someday
Someday I can explain
That I thought of you
Every moment that I was away
