[verse1] After enough time had gone by Thoughts of him returned to me Although as he stood beside Me I also left him behind me [verse2] So how could I leave him now To go back to where he was I was in the present But leaving was the cause [Bridge] If I didn't go back to him there He would never make it here And all the things I hadn't done yet That Christopher had made clear [Chorus] Out past the window Through the looking Glass Reflections of different times Between the future and the past If I didn't connect the dots Then it would not stay clear It would completely fall apart And I needed to leave here [verse3] I didn't know if I should tell him That he would have to wait That although I would leave him We would come back together by fate [verse4] His cheerful smile would break I would lose my resolve To finally close this loop Then there would be nothing at all [Bridge] I chose not to say anything I would just leave on the tide I had hoped he wouldn't remember me I couldn't say goodbye [Chorus] Out past the dock Across the sea Reflections of different times Memories I couldn't retrieve If I didn't connect the dots Then it would not stay clear It would completely fall apart I was now leaving here [verse5] I only got so far Before I finally turned around I was battling the infinite No Destiny to be found [verse6] But when I got to shore Time had already gone by I never reached the barrier I couldn't understand why [Bridge] It was no longer my home My presence no longer there Even though he looked right at me He was completely unaware [Chorus] Back through the window Return by the looking Glass Reflections of different fates Between the future and the past If I didn't connect the dots Then it would not stay clear It had already fell apart I was wrong to return here [verse7] How much time had passed I couldn't yet make clear I finally saw a calendar I had been gone 5 years [verse8] He was not alone Another man was by his side There was something about his look That I could almost recognize [Bridge] The tears that I'd held back Had finally found their way Coming out of my eyes As I went back to the bay [Chorus] The window was now gone The looking Glass is dark No more reflection of me I had already played my part I finally connected the dots I could now see it clear It would then come back together I was ready to leave here [Outro] When I reached the ship My heart skipped a beat Christopher standing on the dock His smile for me complete I know you're a little shocked He Began to say But when you remembered all of this You came back my way I didn't even get through the day You came right after you left You brought me here on the same ship Where you left me on this dock Now I don't have to cry I know you've been here awhile What you saw earlier Will someday make you smile You didn't make that clear You gave it to me to say That You would understand But only on this day I finally just ran to him My heart had been renewed His care for me complete For now we would just be two
