When the night and day trade places
As brightness tests the quiet's patience
Echos of the sun fall on our faces
Cool shadows' memories all but wasted
Answers await the open-minded
Bear the weight of total silence
Remind us that our dreams are timeless
Don't forget about our compromises
As sure as you can plainly see
I'm with you and you're with me
And if we're ever asked to leave
No way we'll go so quietly
How'd we get where we are today
So much different yet so much pain
No matter what anyone will say
The reason always stays the same
Here today but gone tomorrow
All that's left is so much sorrow
Be still, there's time to borrow
But only if we no longer follow
As sure as you can plainly see
This ain't about just you and me
It sure is easy to believe
When all we know we already need
Find somehow to rise above
And seek out a brand new love
Look for something lost among
The only place you're thinking of
As sure as you can plainly see
Nothing in life is ever free
And never can you guarantee
That what you'll find is what you need
