The clock turns around and we breathe ourselves out into silence

Your face bears the mark of the dead but you live on with violence

There ain't a word or an echo of truth

That don't steal my soul and bind it to you

But the fight is where it all has to stand together

And you break

All the laws that I learned

And you kill

All the lies that I've lived

You're a thief on the run

But I see you wear broken wings

And I'm dying to see you just as you are

And we're learning to wonder if life is all ours

As you try to slip further, I'm going down too

Don't think that I'm stupid, I'm staying with you

The road is ahead and we've got a billion choices

The sound of our hearts somehow cover millions of noises

You try to make light, think you've figured it out

You cut out too early but I know you doubt

'Cuz something real shines through when we are together

And I leave

All the worries behind

And I give

You the love that is mine

No, I never felt sorry

But don't go the last part alone

And I'm dying to see you just as you are

And we're learning to wonder if life is all ours

As you try to slip further, I'm going down too

Don't think that I'm stupid, I'm staying with you

Wake up, don't you see what happened here?

You just wanted a little more time

I'm the target but then it changes the game

When you realize your heart is mine

'Cuz you've seen all of me just as I am

And we made the most of all that we can

As I try to hold on you wish you could stay

I'll be here to the end of your days

Honestly, I just love the movie Keith. It always leaves me thinking about different things. I wish I played guitar better and that I just had an orchestra to call up and record with sometimes, because I would happily get this song out. Alas, the closest thing I have to a taste of what's on my mind is this (yes, it's a theme from the movie): [link]
