Here we go, down that familiar road...
Take me there, take me where it all begins.

Met you by the riverside, the city lights dim,
You had that look, like you knew where I'd been.
You ask me, “Who’s in your heart tonight?”
But I smile back, staying out of sight..
You’re my anchor, my flame,
Lighting up shadows, calling my name.
But every glance has its cost,
In this game, someone's bound to get lost.

I’m treading water, in my own lies,
Told you I'd be better, but I still hide.
A tangled heart, a twisted mind,
I’m here for now, but gone in time.

In a crowded room, he's pulling me close,
But your memory lingers, like a ghost.
Whiskey glasses and smoky air,
I try to forget, but you’re everywhere.
You’d ask me to stay, see things through,
But I’m running from me, not just from you.

I’m treading water, in my own lies,
Told you I'd be better, but I still hide.
A tangled heart, a twisted mind,
I’m here for now, but gone in time. (oh, gone in time)

Each step away feels like a dance,
Caught between leaving and a second chance.
We both play the fool in our own ways,
Lost in the part, day after day.

I’m drifting further, like I said I would,
Promised you honesty, misunderstood.
But tangled hearts and restless minds,
We’re here for now, and gone in time.

Gone in time, gone in time,
Like shadows we fade, in rhythm and rhyme.
