keeping up the trend.

Here is another set of lyrics of a song I listened to just now that are also of significance to me. I'm sure there will be many more posting of lyrics as I continue to write this. A quick shout out to Anberlin. They also are gifted with writing very good lyrics. This isn't even one of the best examples, but it nonetheless still is of great meaning.

"Retrace" - Anberlin

Oh, how I've tried to get you out of my head
And I lied, broken words I said
Never thought I'd walk on this street again
Standing where it all began
Tried to forget when I left this town
But it takes me right back when I come back around

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night
I'm right there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away
Counting backwards while the stars are falling

Oh, how I find every subtle thing screams your name
It reminds me of places and times we shared
Couldn't live locked in these memories
Now I'm chained to my thoughts again
And I tried to forget when I left this town
But I'll take you right back if you come back around

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night
I'm right there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away
Counting backwards while the stars are falling

I need some shelter, I need some safety
Photographs, they haunt me lately
Chasing shadows as the evening takes me
I'm still searching, but the picture's fading

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night
I'm right there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away
Counting backwards, still counting backwards

And no where else has ever felt like home
And I can't fall asleep when I'm lying here alone
I replay your voice, it's like you're here
You move the earth, but now the sky is falling

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night
In my mind, I'm back by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away
Counting backwards while the stars are falling.

  1. I adore the lyrics to the song. They are bittersweet. Found memories tainted with the sadness of their being no more.
