Walk The Last Mile lyrics

I am shipwrecked in the night
I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice
Say `Dive into these pools of blue`
But I tripped over you

I curse these cool whispering lights
I curse the things that keep me from you
Again my patience makes the climb
Will my tears buy me time?

In your light I crumble, forgot what I`d been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You`re at the center of everything I do
Wherever I go, I`ll walk the last mile with you

I heard you say `Dissolve in my arms
and run to fall in these meadows`
But you`re just a memory
From a mocking old dream

But I cling to my dreams
I`m drawn to things that kill me
It`s safer to pretend
But I`ll deceive myself again

I your light I crumble, forgot what I`d been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You`re at the center of everything I do
Wherever I go, I`ll walk the last mile with you

I`ve seen the whole world turn to gold
It`s just like a fairground ride
Sometimes it turns out
That the tyrants are the pearls
You`ll always know, someone loves you in this world

I want to burn like I burn
I want to burn like I burn

I wake up in the harsh light
Spilled my heart in a cold night
I`ve got too much time to kill
I wrote you`re name upon my wall

I your light I crumble, forgot what I`d been told
I never thought that I could feel so old
You`re at the center of everything I do
Wherever I go, I`ll walk the last mile with you
