lyrics

There were stars in the kitchen of my heart
And we swilled wine like lifeblood, sacredly
Will you remember when you've grown old?
And all your friends have gone on home?

I'm not asking for you to stay here
There's no here here anymore
All the stars are spreading faster than your memory can run
But still the tulips
And still the time

There are scars on the seashores of our love
But just like glass, they're smoothened by the tides
And I am sorry I let you down
And made things harder for you now

I'm not asking for you to stay here
There's no here here anymore
All the currents in all the oceans cannot bring back what was lost
But still the tulips
And still the time

(Oooo)

There's a car on a train that never stops
Its windows show the things that we have dreamed
And there's a station where no one waits
To see the light grow through the haze

I'm not asking for you to stay here
There's no here here anymore
But it won't matter ‘cause I'll remember
'Til they come to take me home

But still the miles
Still the miles
Still the miles
