We Won't Forget Lyrics

She said let's run from comfort

Through open doors to a world of wonder

And wash off all these chains

That fear had made when we settled in this place

And make our way through faces

Of victims left in the wake of changes

Holding on to hope

That this place will never stray from what they know

I try to run but they're pulling me back in

I fall apart in the motion

And I'm left here standing still

But looking back I don't recognize myself

From in the past

A distortion of my life that I've distilled

We've gone too far

To turn around

And time won't let us go back now

We know the weight of losing everything

And we won't forget at all

No we won't forget at all

I've been watching

The trees changing colour

From yellow to amber

As years loop around again

And as a child I felt as though time moved slow

Couldn't wait to grow up

Get out on my own

Now it feels like time is slipping from my hands

I try to run but they're pulling me back in

I fall apart in the motion

And I'm left here standing still

But looking back I don't recognize myself

From in the past

A distortion of my life that I've distilled

We've gone too far

To turn around

And time won't let us go back now

We know the weight of losing everything

And we won't forget at all

No we won't forget at all

Over and over through over exposure

We understand the finite time we have
