Eternity Lyrics
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
Another glimpse of what could have been
Another dream on the way that it never was
Falling back in the wilderness
Waking up, rubbing salt in the cut
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone (alone, alone)
As I walk this world alone (alone, alone)
It's an endless night, it's a starless sky
It's a hell that I call home (hell that I call home)
It's a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know
And it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
Another dream on the way that it never was
Falling back in the wilderness
Waking up, rubbing salt in the cut
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone (alone, alone)
As I walk this world alone (alone, alone)
It's a hell that I call home (hell that I call home)
It's a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

This song is about grief. One of my favorites after losing my dad and husband. "Why did you follow the light somewhere I can't go" :(
