A bridge splits November's sky I'm in two halves inside This is the past right here I choose to leave it here The cliffs loom to scrape you thin The bowl churns to overspill But I can see us here, without this fear I want to find those books Search your face, torment us You're just a shower to someone dry A shower for the wilted, the dried Because we all leave courage's side, but I'll always be courage's child The past I'll clear, I choose to leave it here (Leave it here) You say have your time again, but you can't and the warning starts now What's in the frame it makes you sad but you can't fill the gaps We're four rings on a chain so don't make them rust I'll be your maps I'll be your eyes I'll give the ending a nudge I don't want to see you like this Alive now in the middle, not looking from outside Wishing that it was a screen fight Settled with all of a heroes flair Put aside , find a new character I don't want to. don't want to Don't want to see you like this A bridge splits November's sky I'm in two halves inside This is the past right here I choose to leave it here
