Lyrics:

Memento

I said I’d die for this memory,
So you should leave me now lest I forget myself
And hold on to you.
For if I woke in your arms we might know
There were worlds, cities, oceans to go
Before the sun went down on your rage.

Look up! Miracles are falling
Each day I spend searching for you...

Find me, find me all the delight I ask for.
You’re a ghost to me, but so close to me
That I can’t stay here.

And I don’t care what the truth is now.
Lying is an art and I surpass myself
Each day for you.
And the legends that fall from my tongue
Greet the day and the story’s begun
But in the end I turn an empty page.

Look up! Miracles are falling
Each day I spend searching for you ...

Find me, find me all the delight I ask for.
You’re a ghost to me, but so close to me
That I can’t stay here.
