Valiant Hearts
A Thousand Years
[Intro]
I've waited a thousand years
But it’s still not enough
I want to retrace all my steps again
To find out where we grew up, where we grew up
[Verse 1]
Tell me, is this all a dream?
Tell me it was all a dream
Just wake me up if I fall asleep
'Cause I'll never know if I’m sleepwalking
[Pre-Chorus]
Time’s a virtue we don’t know
A fleeting moment like falling snow
A drop in an ocean that overflows
[Chorus]
I've waited a thousand years (Thousand years)
But it's still not enough (Still not enough)
I want to retrace all my steps again to find out where we grew up
They say this story is never ending
But we've only just begun (Oh)
And this journey is far from done (Oh)
[Verse 2]
Sweet child, you'll melt in the sun
In this crescent wax ship, the moonlight carries on (Carries on)
[Pre-Chorus]
Time's a virtue we don’t know
A fleeting moment like falling snow
A drop in an ocean that overflows
[Chorus]
I've waited a thousand years (Thousand years)
But it's still not enough (Still not enough)
I want to retrace all my steps again to find out where we grew up
They say this story is never ending
But it's only just begun
[Bridge]
We've just begun to witness the fragile nature in our lives
A sunset getting dimmer with the rising of the tide
We’re distant, we cut the strings that tie and bind
Our porcelain bodies get left behind
And every time that you look back
You waste the moment we could have had
We waste the moment we could have had
[Chorus]
I've waited a thousand years (Thousand years)
But it’s still not enough (Still not enough)
I want to find the pages left undone and tie all the loose ends up
No, this story isn’t over (Oh)
It’s only just begun
It’s only just begun
