I told them to stay away, I'm scared of the monster I've become
You came into my world and that day I tried to run
But you can only go so far until your heart pulls you back
I was a train headed for the worst and you put me on track
You were the beauty to my beast, at times I wish we still were
I've got to let the past sleep, and come back to the real world
I still see you in my dreams, but I know you're not here
I poured out that night, and let go of my claim my dear
And these songs are like time machines really
I was fascinated by your smile, your hair, the thought of you near me
You were the beauty to my beast, at times I wish we still were
I've got to let the past sleep, and come back to the real world
I still see you in my dreams, but I know you're not here
I poured out that night, and let go of my claim my dear
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together
And I got a word the world might end tomorrow so why not look on for just today
The past keeps us grounded
