Once More Lyrics

Now that you are real and no longer a hungry ghost

I have to say from my soul that what scares me the most

Is how easy I know it would be to fall in love with you

When the fire still burns even after what we've been through

This morning, when I held you in my arms for the first time in years

There was a boy who felt like he was coming home emptied of his fears

As we lied there entangled, it felt just like before we were cut apart

And it opened my eyes to see how you have always lived in my heart

All it took was just a nervous kiss on a cold December night

To push aside the shadows of time with the glow of your soft light

There's a flower growing from the grave

A sign of new life,

Something to save

I have always remembered you

Everything I am

is everything you gave

Now I can't close my eyes without seeing you

Everything I thought I knew

All that I believed was true

Everything I watered and grew

All that I suffered through

I want to hide you away from that and keep you all for myself

A giant secret that wants to be told but I can't tell anyone else

I will steal moments from time when there is an open door

Just to see you, hold you, hug you, and kiss you, once more.

There are days when I can picture us sharing a life together

And it makes my dizzy head feel light as a feather

Every morning there's no one I want to hear first, than you

As I drink my coffee black and wonder what you're up to

Am I on your mind as much as you are upon mine

Am I to you what you are to me and will we be fine

I ask myself where this will go from what we have begun

Because I don't want it to end after I've just gotten back the sun

I'm not asking you to run away into a world of dreams

But sometimes you are all that's real

in a world where nothing is as it seems.

There's a flower growing from the grave

A sign of new life,

Something to save

I have always remembered you

Everything I am

is everything you gave

Now I can't close my eyes without seeing you

Everything I thought I knew

All that I believed was true

Everything I watered and grew

All that I suffered through

I want to hide you away from that and keep you all for myself

A giant secret that wants to be told but I can't tell anyone else

I will steal moments from time when there is an open door

Just to see you, hold you, hug you, and kiss you, once more.

I just want to close my eyes and wake up in yesterday

I just want to try and do it all over again some other way

A way where we did not become lost to each other

And found separate lives in the arms of another

There's a flower growing from the grave

A sign of new life,

Something to save

I have always remembered you

Everything I am

is everything you gave

Now I can't close my eyes without seeing you

Everything I thought I knew

All that I believed was true

Everything I watered and grew

All that I suffered through

I want to hide you away from that and keep you all for myself

A giant secret that wants to be told but I can't tell anyone else

I will steal moments from time when there is an open door

Just to see you, hold you, hug you, and kiss you, once more.
