You talked me to sleep last night I hadn't felt that sad in years Your eyes like glass mistakes They moved me close to tears
You speak those favourite fables Which I am yet to live And casually confirm my fears That I've got nothing to give
I wish I could say that I've got no regrets But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold But as you said goodbye, I almost died I almost died
I take it back, all of it Those names I called myself The heroes of my childhood Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back, those promises I made to everyone I'm falling through a ribbon last Before I'd learn to run
I wish I could say that I've got no regrets But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk I wish I could say I've clung to time like gold But as you said goodbye, I almost died I almost died I almost died
