When we first met
We were stumbling in the dark
We were equally wounded
And you were my only spark
But after years of us
Growing towards the light
I heard the north train a-comin'
And stole away in the night

Nothing will last forever
We knew we were made to change
But now that i'm gone it's my love that remains

(and it took you to find that)
Nothing will last forever
But distance has yet to change
The way i feel about you now
And i'm back at the start again

Wish i could tell you
What's keeping me away
I guess i'm constantly searching,
Thinking there's more to gain
But if there was one
Who truly understood
It'd be you by your lonesome,
Knowing i never could

Nothing will last forever
We knew we were made to change
But now that i'm gone it's my love that remains

(and it took you to find that)
Nothing will last forever
But distance has yet to change
The way i feel about you now
And i'm back at the start again

It was not in vain
'cause our history remains the same
Just tell me you're not looking back my love
And i'll tell you i'm still in pain
It was not in vain
'cause our history remains the same
Just tell me you're not looking back my love
