Lyrics
I noticed a picture on the wall
I don't remember it at all
It makes me smile for a short while
Then it's gone
I struggle along the line
I know there's a reason to care
And people are talking about me
as though I'm not even there.
How long will we let this last?
Who I am is fading fast
All alone, adrift at sea
And turning to dust what you mean to me
Someone just waved I don't know their name
I kind of know who they are but I'm ashamed
It's deep inside but it's locked and I've tried
Help me find a way
Help me to find the key to unlock this door
Before there's no going back like I was before
How long will we let this last?
Who I am is fading fast
All alone, adrift at sea
Turning to dust what you mean to me
Help me find the key to unlock this door
Where you will find me as I was before
How long will we let this last?
Who I am is fading fast
All alone, adrift at sea
Turning to dust what you mean to me
Turning to dust
