I've been learning how to live without you day by day
Though your heart has moved on, your ghost is here to stay
All the tiny little places I knew to hide away
I brought you into and I can feel you there today
I was trying to swim and hold you in my arms
But our youth it failed us, and the wave carried you off
All I could do then is stand and watch
So I head back to shore and I left there running
All the letters that I wrote you read like a child
Who wanted his toys to know that they were prized
All it did in the end is wear them out
So it's sure no surprise that you left there running
I'm not ready to go
I find myself falling back to where you belong
Let's hold on to anything we can hold
Reflections that keep me from not letting go
I'm running as fast as my legs can go
Nothing can keep me from moving too slow
