October Rain

I look at you like I've always known 

Far apart we've already grown 

Broken down on the edge of the road 

Your face, my face: coming back home. 

Moving through these empty streets 

Looking for you, calling out my being 

I'll never look back at a place you'll be, 

Our happy ending wasn't meant to be. 

In this place, alone, I've found 

One heart beating in this quiet now.

When I sleep I dream you back around 

When no one's home, it's the hardest sound. 

Move the boulders, split the surface, 

Our lives are off course–brace for turbulence. 

Are You Afraid of Heights? Afraid of widths? 

Why can't I remember? to hell with this. 

I'll never look back to a place you'll be, 

Our happy ending wasn't meant to be. 

So far apart, here and now 

When I sleep, I dream you back around. 

So say goodbye to what we've done, 

These words hurt more when they're gone.
