[Verse 1]
And just one moment
Is all I ask for
Just one talk between us
And just one second now
Some perfect clarity
And eighty hours alone

[Pre-Chorus]
And I swore to god that I wouldn't cry
And I swore to you I can't see
How it's anything more than a lie

[Chorus]
And all these years
I won't ever let them go
All my fears
They'll bring me down, down so low
And I'll be missing you
For a lifetime
But eighteen years are better than none
Until the time comes for me
To turn to dust

[Verse 2]
So I'll get on fine
My mind turned inside out
I've always found it easy
To hide these thoughts of mine
A collapsing state of mind
I'll sink to where thoughts can't find me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swore to god that I wouldn't cry
And I swore to you I can't see
How it's anything more than a lie

[Chorus]
And all these years
I won't ever let them go
All my fears
They'll bring me down, down so low
And I'll be missing you
For a lifetime
But eighteen years are better than none
Until the time comes for me
To turn, to turn

[Verse 3]
And we all hurt
And time heals nothing at all
Decisions made and they cut me off
From all I've ever known
And I can't think
No, I can't breathe
I can't be what I want to with this weight on me

[Bridge]
I wish I had
Selective amnesia
To keep you away from me
[Chorus]
But I'll be missing you
For a lifetime
But eighteen years are better than none
Until the time comes for me
To turn to dust
