You're just a mile away
One thousand five tiny steps from here
But if I brought you near
would you believe when I say,
It seems like yesterday
that I could reach out and touch your face,
But as I fall from grace
into whose arms can I lay
It's always much too late
We get the signs
We can't communicate
Or turn back time
So what will be now, do you feel somehow
Not so together and not quite as strong
Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely, after you've gone
If it's a healing wind
That cools the flame burning in my sight
It must accelerate
For two wrongs they don't make a right
And all these solitaires, lone victories
Wars fought in isolation, with none to please
The future's still uncertain, the past is done
