This Time, Last Year

The stars tonight, eclipsed by your light
Over seasons past, a movie made of us
But no one ever scripted it for you and me


Rush of blood to the head
Burnt your hope as you asked
“Can we ever change the past?”
The answer, a firm “No”
The truth, a little harder to expose
Yet each time
We find ourselves questioning,
Do you still remember,
This time, last year?


A candle cold, the matches spent
Few recall where summer went
But these fears they’re ever testing,
Hearts that fail to see
And hold to what we always believed in
Timeless, yet your smile is lost
Into oblivion, the back of my mind


In the afterlife of yesterday
Our minds write history by the seconds
Because who’s to know
When memories fade away
Upside down, the sun rises into the night
Goodbye, hello,
A million faces that I’ll never know
Observing entropy and the lost people
Still one question remains,
Will we ever remember,
This time, last year?
