Hot rain on the window pane
We were lost when summer came
No-one left to blame
except for each other

We were scared so we stayed inside
Locked inside our messy minds
Looking for a place to hide
only to discover

The only places left to go
Are the ones we’ve seen before

Days gone by
And time stands still
All I know
is I’m still here

Remember the days we’d skip to school
Back when it was cool to break the rules
Now there’s someone who needs you
to wear the shoes of another

And I’m sorry I’m not there with you
And I’m sorry for the days turned blue
Dreaming of those hazy afternoons
The cradle of a lover

Now instead you’re waking up at noon
Tired of feeling like there’s nothing left to do

Days gone by
And time stands still
All I know
is I’m still here

You said goodbye to your friends today
The ones who cartwheeled with you in the pouring rain
And I head your hero passed away
He was old, he was young, he had something left to say

Come tomorrow, no more fear
All this sorry, yes I’m still here
Days gone by, and time stands still
All I know
is I’m still here
All I know
is I’m still here
All I know
is I’m still here

My love runs deep like the gutter
It tugs, it weeps, oh the wonder
Save a bite for the last one
Crowned and tongue-tied, like the mad man

See the ants crawl by the window

Wait,
What if we’re all the same
One dies another takes it’s place
Filled with the hope of
tomorrow

I go to read by the Ijssel
It calls to me, Aurelia
Fill my eyes for the last time
Bound, glued and dried
On the way down

See the ants crawl over my fingers

Wait,
What if we’re all the same
One dies another takes it’s place
Filled with the hope of
tomorrow

Give me peace now
I’m asleep now
No more waiting
By the jetty
See the beauty
Not enough for me
Are our heroes the ones who die
or the ones who hold fast
Falling slowly,
Turning slowly
Eyes grow heavy

Feel the ants crawl up my neck

Wait,
What if we’re all the same
I die another takes my place
Tell them the stories
Of tomorrow
Tell them the stories
of the ones who lived
Tell them the stories
of the hopeful
