Footprints

There's blisters forming on my soles Cause I'm walking down steps from where you cut us off And I don't know where the bottom is Just that it's one hell of a lonely trip It's hard to accept we let a good thing drown Could've sworn we were floating just this past hour Guess we were always getting in our own way Oh I wish beginnings could stay the same I'd be lying if i said im not afraid Of letting everything go to waste So if the world caved in Would you come on back I'd break it myself for the smallest chance That you'd retrace your footprints before they fade out And I'm standing still where the air is thin Been waiting for you to let me breathe again Cause I don't wanna change the view that I have right now Of your footprints fading out Have you worn that blackberry perfume Or do you hate that I linger when it's on you Bet you avoid street names that we once walked While i do the most to bring you into my thoughts Cause you were the sun that fed my roots Now anyone that knows me must know you I feel bad staring at stars at night Why do such bright things gotta die to shine? But if i'm the cost that sets you free I'll walk the plank to pull you out of the deep end I hope our pieces you buried are still alive That they're breathing, waiting To be dug out when the time's right So if the world caved in Would you come on back I'd break it myself for the smallest chance That you'd retrace your footprints before they fade out And I'm standing still where the air is thin Been waiting for you to let me breathe again Cause I don't wanna change the view that I have right now Of your footprints fading out If the clock reset I'd take the same Steps I had made Knowing that there'd be pain If I woke up unscathed I'd let every stain Mark me again If it was you that I gained So If the world caved in would you come on back I'd break it myself for the smallest chance That you'd retrace your footprints before they fade out But I can't see them now
