A sense of distress could be felt in the silence
When the conversation had stopped
And you walked away
The ticking time bomb that waited for no one
Made chaos in a beautiful way
So you won't understand
And just like the fire
That burnt itself out
Miles away from the sea
You won't even notice
You won't even remember me
But just so you know
I'm over here
I'm waiting near
That old meeting spot at the pier
And I'll give back the time
That I took when I called you mine
Just because I know
That just like the fire
That burnt itself out
Miles away from the sea
You won't even notice
You won't even remember me
So long my friend
I know that we'll meet again
I just thought it would never end
But I guess I shouldn't pretend
Just so you know
I'm over here
I'm waiting near
That old meeting spot at the pier
And I'll give back the time
That I took when I called you mine
Just because I know
That just like the fire
That burnt itself out
Miles away from the sea
You won't even notice
You won't even remember me
