Mistakes
Take me to the horizon where I can see the sun,
Let it wash away my worries and erase what I have done.
The light is almost here, the night is almost through,
It doesn't matter if I make it out as long as I have you.
Lets go out and see the whole world tonight,
and maybe even pretend that everything's alright.
Maybe just for now we can live out all our dreams,
We can accept the fact that reality isn't what it seems.
But when it starts to set back in and there's nothing we can do,
All i can do is watch as it tears apart all thats left of me and you.
Take me to the horizon where I can see the sun,
Let it bring to life the problems that I can not out run.
The night has lasted forever but the morning's soon in view,
It doesn't matter if I make it out as long as I have you.
Finally the dawn, I can see it start to break,
It presents and opportunity I know that I must take.
I know that I must own up to all the things I've done.
And tell you that I'm sorry for each and every one.
But no matter what I do and no matter what I say,
I know that you, like the time, are slowly slipping away.
Take me to the horizon where I can see the sun,
Let it make clear to me that my battle can't be won.
Now I know no matter what there is nothing I can do.
I don't want to make it out tonight because I know I can't have you.
