Like this, Forever

from Fishbowl by Philip Gregory

about

Originally released as a single, this song was written for my ex, whilst thinking on how our time was near an end, and how I wanted to freeze the moment - that moment when we were still together - and live in it forever.

lyrics

Our life is like a waning like on a river that is slowly running dry.
You are the evanescent glow, and I'm the cool evaporating depths.
And for a time I wonder, as I take in your warmth: how did I exist before I met you?

Now near the end I begin to remember the beginning. How can I go on without you? Eternity will never be quite enough time for me. I want to live with you in this moment, like this, forever.

The sands of time are light, and they're floating away on a cruel wind.
You might have enjoyed the lie, if I'd said that nothing could ever make this end, but I refuse to hurt you by making you live in dreams. The truth is harsh, but I must live without you.

Now near the end I begin to remember the beginning. How can I go on without you? Eternity will never be quite enough time for me. I want to live with you in this moment, like this, forever.

One second more and you are falling - a tumbling star that's lost its power. A minute more and I am empty - left to bathe in darkness, without you.

Now near the end I begin to remember the beginning. How can I go on without you? Eternity will never be quite enough time for me. I want to live with you in this moment, like this, forever.
