Lyrics

Always a bad day when I don’t hear from you at all
Is it raining where you are? Did you think of me at dawn?
Cause I did, about you, I could smell you as the sun rose
In the wet grass evaporating like that spring in 2004

I still feel so safe in your arms
Although you’re gone, never far
I keep you in my heart

You were always five steps ahead in life
Running, running, running, chasing time
You’d say you’ve never felt more alive
Treading, treading, treading, too close to the line

In the evening breeze I look up and wonder if you see the stars
The same ones we wished upon, when life felt like ours
I dreamt of your laughter echoing with the night, like that summer in two thousand and nine
Every tone and vibration of your voice still resonates, still cushions my fall

I still feel so safe in your arms
Although you’re gone, never far
I keep you in my heart

You were always five steps ahead in life
Running, running, running, chasing time
You’d say you’ve never felt more alive
Treading, treading, treading, too close to the line

My instincts telling me that you’re gonna be waiting for me on the other side
It’s not coincidence, or happenstance, I do not think that we met by chance
I think the truth was always written in your eyes, and that knowing look of yours
The way we danced that last night, you already knew it was goodbye

You were always five steps ahead in life
Running, running, running, chasing time
You’d say you’ve never felt more alive
Treading, treading, treading, too close to the line
