you say you never look back on life
a book you've already read
the pages blew by and so you did
so you did

you'd never look back for me
though I might be here waiting
it was time to go and so you did
so you did

oh, come see why i've fallen
and where i've come back from

and stay to understand my name
you know i would for you

all i ever did was hear you talk
about making it up to me
i know it's too late,
but you never
did never did
i guess i'm holding out for life
just have to wait and see
forgive you is something that i never did
never did

chorus

you know that between these lifetimes
the sun is hovering high for you
and there i am holding up the sky
one last good-bye,
truth for true
you know i would for you

oh, come see why i've fallen
and where i've come back from
and stay to understand my name
you know i would for you

you know i would for you
