That What We Did (repost w/ new recording)

The sunrise meets me at the dawn
I wipe away a weary yawn
I've waited here for far too long
And now it's clear that she's long gone

There's a silver lining on the horizon
I lift my eyes to the rising sun
I feel a sudden breeze where there was once none
So I fill my lungs and start to run

These heavy feelings chase me for quite awhile
Heartache and cold regret for miles and miles
Sweat falls like liquid fire into my eyes
But gradually my lips curve into a smile

The world's a vibrant scene from the top of a hill
Birds flying underneath in panoramic view
Life keeps on moving on no matter how you feel
Bright colored leaves float free and then grow anew

The past is just history, the future's a mystery but I'm right here
Figuring out all the heartache and doubt of existential fear
The journey seems long but it's here then it's gone as moments fade into years
As we slowly learn the pain in desire and the joy in tears
