The Year of Our Demise

In the year of our demise
I was waiting for hope to arrive
Like the keys to relief
Like a car that we could drive down the street

And I want you to know
That I loved you so
And I want you to know
How I loved you so

In the year of our demise
I was lucky to still be alive
I keep playing it over (over, over, over, over) in my head
And the reasons why I couldn't put the past to bed

And I want you to know
That I loved you so
And I want you to know
That I loved you so

There's still a picture on my ceiling of the pain we were concealing
Like the inner voice that would not let me be
And our engine full of tension was a burden just to mention
And to realize what hurt us so to see

And the sea and the sand
Were as cruel as if it had all been planned
And the sky (sky-sky-sky...) and the earth
Were as blue as I
Blue as I was worth

And I want you to know
That I loved you so
And I want you to know
How I loved you
I loved you so...
