lyrics

We go through life with regrets
For the first time
Remember the highs but we come down
And wish we learned to swim

We stare cause the numbers we're given all turn out wrong in the end
And now our history's rewriting itself to fit with the times

So here we are, where souls collide
Like fireflies in the spring
Our friends went home, it's time to go
Don't think we'll meet again

And now my body's weightless and I can swim in the clouds
Alas, the scent of mortality still lingers on the ground

I'll steal my bones back from the morning star
And leave my body in the sea
So when I want I'll sneak back down to Earth
To find good memories

We go through life with regrets
Just this last time
Remember the highs but we come down
And wish we learned to swim

We stare cause the numbers we're given all turn out wrong in the end
And now our history's rewriting itself to fit with the times
