The Only Trace

Dear, where is next from here?
You've made yourself so clear
I find it hard to think there's nothing more to say
And what a lovely mess we've made
The thing is I won't trade a moment with you then
For anything today
Like a hike into the night
And darling, you were right
My god, what a dramatic, beautiful exchange
We walk, headed towards the moon
You say we'll be there soon
Last time we passed that table
Seeing it feels strange.
And I wonder what's left
What's next
And I wonder what's left
What's next from here
In the morning when I wake
I remember by the lake and smile
My god, it's crazy how things escalate
Then I think of what to do
And wish it was with you
Let's spend the evening afternoon
Lost in our gorgeous state
"What I'm trying to explain"
A phrase that comes with pain
We can't stay on the same trail
Seeking a different place
So I'll go with someone new,
She's no real substitute
I'll keep you tucked away
This song, the only trace
And I wonder what's left
What's next
And I wonder what's left
What's next from here
Dear, where is next from here?
Well here's my greatest fear
Someday I'll have to hear from someone you're still pretty
And what a lovely mess we've made
The thing is I would trade
The things we have in common
To view us the same way
