Around the Bend/Stone's Throw

Do you remember when it started? Listening to Dreamland Shifting with my left hand to keep our fingers intertwined We were so innocent Nothing could touch us then Little did we know around the bend life was waiting to break our hearts Do you remember that summer? Driving down 17 Marianne's Ice Cream dripping down your wrist We were so happy then Thought that feeling would never end Little did we know around the bend life was waiting to tear us apart Don't leave me in the dark She said, "Let me off this ride- the highs are too high, the lows are too low" She said, "I swear I tried" We were so close Just a stone's throw away Twist the knife Watch my insides spill on the floor Let me bleed a little more, 'til I lose sight of the shore It's no surprise We favor surface to the core Empty cups no longer pour And I can't see a way around this The look on your face, so astounded Like being struck by lightning while not grounded She said, "Let me off this ride- the highs are too high, the lows are too low" She said, "I swear I tried" We were so close Just a stone's throw away And if this is the end, just know I'll always love you Til Heaven pulls me in, I swear I'll always love you
