Echoes of 1989

04:53

I wonder if you remember 1989
The year the world stood still for us
I wonder if you remember 1989
While I keep living it again

Streetlights painted silver on your coat
We walked until the clocks gave up
You laughed at something I forget
But the sound still sits inside my chest
The air was cold yet somehow warm
Your hand so close I almost took it
I never said the words that night
And now they echo every hour

I wonder if you remember 1989
The year the world stood still for us
I wonder if you remember 1989
While I keep living it again

Snow that never fell
Promises that never left
A single night that never ends
Inside this quiet head
I keep the calendar turned back
To pages no one else can see
A life that only I still live
In shadows of what used to be

I count the winters since you turned away
Each one softer than the last
I smile the way the old songs do
When no one is left to listen to
Your face still clear behind my eyes
Though decades try to wash it clean
I never learned to let it go
I never wanted to it seems

I wonder if you remember 1989
The year the world stood still for us
I wonder if you remember 1989
While I keep living it again

If I could trade these endless nights
For just one more of what we had
I know the answer stays the same
Too late too late and still I ask

I wonder if you remember 1989
The year the world stood still for us
I wonder if you remember 1989
While I keep living it again

I wonder if you remember
I wonder if you
I wonder
1989
Still here
Still waiting
1989
