Years passed by here by your side
But with one hand steady on the door
And it took so long staring back at you
To open the door and walk through

And what if I've been fooled by a story or a song?
Or a memory remembered wrong?
It's gonna take so long to unravel the con
And by then, I know that you'll be gone

And if I've been fooled, it was not by you
But by a story with the ring of truth
And a story takes only so long to tell and then it's gone
And I will find out
