Apollo

The hours are slowly ticking by
Where the days are full of shame

Sitting on the pavement of my life
Should I've forgotten your name?

Like the stars on Orion's Belt
We're trapped by our history
Even when we're long gone
And masqueraded by mystery

I can't let you go and I can't keep you around
When I see your face, I know that I've let you down
I couldn't hold you tight enough
I wouldn't let you go

We're just falling through the skies
Four amps drawn from where we came

There's no more twinkle in your eyes
While you fan your dying flames

You don't ever say what you mean
And you never mean what you say
This paper crane is drowning
In your manufactured claims

I can't let you go and I can't keep you around
When I see your face, I know that he's let you down
I couldn't hold you tight enough
I wouldn't let you go
