husk

it seems like yesterday

you took my breath away

how could the world still turn?

we're not what we thought we were

must you be leavin' so soon

so soon

so soon

oh?

i was just fallin' for you

for you

for you

i'm sorry i'm late

i was ablaze

i was just starting on hopin' you'd stay

must you be leavin' so soon

soon?

the death of a century

has sunken its teeth in me

how the hands of the clock

are beating to death

our memory

i'm older than the man

i was when i began

what use is breathing in

if i'm nothing more than skin?

must you be leavin' so soon

so soon

so soon

oh?

i was just fallin' for you

for you

for you now

i held my tongue when we were young

holdin' my horses but jumpin' the gun

i must be aging now too

too

the death of a century

has sunken its teeth in me

how the hands of the clock

are beating to death

our memories

must you be leaving so soon

so soon

so soon?
