lights of rushing minds

in spite of all the times that i decided that i couldnt carry on
tonight we will erase the memories
and i'm sorry that i must forget
so sorry that this regret will eat us from the inside out
but i'll stay in this moment for longer than i should anyway
because it's the one time i've felt this alive
and even if the sun never rises
at least the darkness embraced us so tight
cuz i've been running this life alone for so long
that home is nowhere near where it used to be

but lying in each others arms will substitute well enough for now
these street lights burn brighter in my eyes
as i count the moments that i am beside her

my mind is rushing in and out of reality
as i fight back everyone's scrutiny
what price must be payed to be happy?
i fear that no one will ever open the door this wide for me again
and i'll be cast into darkness once more
but without her this time i think i'll hold my breath
until this devastation breaks into the daylight
i think i may have jumped the gun just this one last time
baby if you stay right here i'm sure that we'll survive
i've been breathing in these words
and i've been sulking in myself
you've turned everything around
but now we must forget
