Ruins Lyrics
[00:04.20] Today, I climb the highest mountain I have ever climbed
[00:11.16] And I turned to look at ruins I had left behind
[00:16.65] And you, where were you so far removed from any truth
[00:24.15] I lost you, didn't I?
[00:29.45] First I think I lost myself
[00:36.68] Children, then and forever locked in a memory
[00:43.02] Holdin' that mirror searching for some kind of certainty
[00:49.43] That you were just the same as everyone
[00:53.64] But you were wrong
[00:56.28] And it hurt you, didn't it?
[01:01.33] All you couldn't be
[01:06.90] Ruins
[01:10.53] Ooh
[01:17.04] Ruins
[01:21.19] Ooh
[01:27.18] I tried to hold on to some kind of dignity
[01:33.05] Too long I waded through a vast and endless sea
[01:38.80] Thinking I could find the secret there within
[01:46.03] But I gave up, didn't I?
[01:50.48] It seemed the only way
[01:55.96] Ruins, all the things we built assured that they would last
[02:02.56] Standing amongst ticket stubs
[02:05.64] And written notes and photographs
[02:09.35] And where are you in here
[02:11.35] Somewhere I cannot go
[02:15.00] I am sorry, I am
[02:19.27] But I don't take it back
[02:25.78] And in the night, I hear your voice
[02:30.71] Sometimes but it quickly passes
[02:35.88] In dreams I saw what I had thought
[02:40.75] Could be some kind of answer
[02:45.51] You try and try and try
[02:48.23] Until you cannot try no more
[02:51.21] Captured in our own
[02:55.67] Ruins
[02:59.50] Ooh
[03:05.60] Ruins
[03:09.09] Ooh
[03:15.82] Ruins
[03:19.94] Ooh
[03:25.68] Ruins
[03:29.16]
[00:11.16] And I turned to look at ruins I had left behind
