When you first came
to this place
the moon was new
no stars, no clouds
the sky was a blank slate
for you to write the story that we never heard
but now the stars speak of memories we'd best forget
I'm keeping one
I'm keeping one
I'm keeping one
I'm keeping one
When we first met
the ground was bare
no blood, no blooms
the desert surrounded us
but now, look at this place
it's littered with the remnants
of a life that we'd best forget
I'm keeping one
I'm keeping one
I'm keeping one
for myself
(the moon was full)
the sun was out
(Looking on was I, on all that we shared)
you gave me nothing
(we looked behind)
I looked ahead
you held me
and I
(close before)
let go
