Lyrics
Looking at my face in a photograph
Reflecting on a photograph of my face.
I was only 17
Recalling a time when I was only 17 years old.
Been a long time since we looked like that
It has been a long time since we appeared like that.
But you're the same boy standing by me
You, the same boy, are still standing by me.
So I'll close my eyes in thoughts of you
Closing my eyes, thinking about you.
Thinking it might be through
Considering that it might be the end.
But I've got my pride though I'm alone tonight
Despite being alone tonight, I maintain my pride.
Do you remember when we said I do
Recalling the time when we made a commitment with "I do."
I won't be the one who walks away
Committing not to be the one who walks away.
I won't be the one who fades
Determined not to be the one who fades.
I won't be the one who walks away
Reiterating the commitment not to be the one who walks away.
I won't be the one who pains
Ensuring not to be the one causing pain.
Standing in the rain as they lowered the flag
Standing in the rain during a flag-lowering ceremony.
Wondering where the spirit was bound
Wondering where the spirit is headed.
Thinking I could never feel that lost again
Thinking I could never feel as lost as before.
But that was then and this is now
Recognizing the contrast between then and now.
I just wanted you to know I can't let go
Expressing the difficulty of letting go.
I'll be here if you still want me
Offering to be there if wanted.
I'll be waiting in the shadows of the unlit side
Waiting in the shadows on the unlit side.
Where the lost souls are being set free
Where the lost souls find freedom.
