The first time that I met you, you said you weren't afraid to die With every stranger that you met you felt more alive We slept on floors and found our homes in places we've never been We'd drive the 15 hours just to hear that song again When the sun's the only star you see for months at a time Rather than forget their glow, you stare into the sky And swallow the blinding light And every person that you meet will someday die, but The things you learn from those you love can keep them all alive Like giving up the comfort of routine for new horizons And moving forward when it hurts to dry your sunken eyes When the sun's the only star you see for months at a time Rather than forget their glow, you stare into the sky And swallow the blinding light
