She reminds me of someone I never knew
like a forgone dream I have lost
the times I held her were too few
so I wait till she comes around
Like a fleeting memory
at the back of my head
that's floating away slowly
seeping through my mind
She is leaving this place
a few steps at a time
taking away all the grace
leaving an echo behind
says she can't hide no more
losing herself all over again
She'll find her way back ashore
but she won't know herself
there's nothing much she can do
bound by the passage of time
just moving on and through
like every other face you see
can't take it any long
I can see it in her eyes
and hear it in her song
but I can't just let go
It was long ago yesterday
when everything was just right
but she is not here today
and everything is gone
I can't escape confines of time
entangled, bound and restrained
like how it happened last time
it's history repeating itself
