Lyrics

Eyes in the stars
Moving heart to heart
Trying hard to feel complete
Eyes meeting eyes
The power of a tide
Saw it happen all in my dreams
I saw everyone that I know
But I don't know how to save us
Everything I've seen
Every memory
Is a puzzle piece
Keep it on repeat
An eternity
Key to every lock
Is a luxury
That I haven't got
Follow through a doorway
Time never obeys
I'm forever your prey
You may bend but don't break
Follow through a doorway
Time, it never obeys
Give me a lesson to take
Show you that I can obey
I had every sign
But I tried to deny
When it's over, it's over for good
When we're nothing but dust
And the sun burns up
Can we really say we did what we could?
I just need to find a way out
And bring up everyone that I love
Everything I've seen
Every memory
Is a puzzle piece
Keep it on repeat
An eternity
Key to every lock
Is a luxury
That I haven't got
Follow through a doorway
Time never obeys
I'm forever your prey
You may bend but don't break
Follow through a doorway
Time, it never obeys
Give me a lesson to take
Show you that I can obey
Follow through a doorway
Time never obeys
I'm forever your prey
You may bend but don't break
Follow through a doorway
Time, it never obeys
Give me a lesson to take
Show you that I can obey
