15-8 Lyrics

I'll always know the way I felt that cold December
When I braved the storm alone
The clouds hung low and heavy
As if barely tethered by the cosmic hands that hold them in the sky
You're so damn literal, when it rains it pours
And the reasons why I need you here grow longer with the days

So I'll set you free
In hopes that someday you and I would meet
Further down the stream

What am I to do? When I've got dreams, but they all involve you?
Believe me when I tell you, I got carried away this time,
But dear I fear
If I let you go
I'm leaving it behind

I'll always know the way I felt that night you told me
That these words would never do
I told you it's no good to live your life in fear of things not fully understood
It's not my fault this time when the stars won't align
And the moon refused to shine his face on us

So a lesson in simile and a song filled with irony
Is all that I will leave you with this time
If fate be the hunter, then I am the prey
I'm left with nothing left to say but oh
That tragic defeated, oh
