I feel a certain way Too much to numb the pain And I just don't know now The way the world will change Oh, time fades away Pull it back but it's too late Oh, time fades away Oh, time fades away Pull it back but it's too late Oh, time fades away I need you with me now My heart is beating loud I know you had to leave You're better without me Oh, time fades away Pull it back but it's too late Oh, time fades away Oh, time fades away Pull it back but it's too late Oh, time fades away

For the first time in my life I am not outside the moment With a camera in between me and the world I think I know. For the first time in my life I am somehow part of something. You surround me, you connect me And I think I can't let go. For the first time in my life You have opened up a channel There is nothing to contain us We are joined, and we are free. For the first time in my life I am risking something precious. I am asking you, Francesca: Come with me. I can't tell you I know what the future will be. Who knows anything? I just look at those eyes; you've got so much to see. Let me show you there's Crowds and camels and hillsides to climb. All I know is, in all of the time From man's first breath To God's last warning You and I are just one second Spinning by in one split-second. You and I have just one second And a million miles to go. I don't need to be rich, I don't need something new. I don't want t go back to a world without this. All I need, all I've needed my whole life was you. If I left this behind... Robert Please just look at me: You were born with a wanderer's soul. This is how you begin to be whole. The stars keep burning Worlds keep turning And you and I are just one second Spinning by in just one second You and I have just one second And a million miles to go. Found and lost. Torn in half. Before and after you. Come with me. Open heart Open door. Before and after you. Come with me. How do I go? Tell me. How do I go? How do I go with you? How do I pack a bag Close a door Turn a key Walk away? Look at where I am And who I am And tell me. Is there something I don't know? How do I go? How can I go With you? I can't tell you I know what the answer will be. It's impossible. But this thing, this is bigger than what we can see. This is destiny. We are tied, we are locked, we are bound This will not be reversed or unwound. Whatever fate the stars are weaving We're not breaking I'm not leaving And you and I are just one second. Spinning by in just one second. You and I have just one second... And a million miles to go. All my life I have been falling... All my life I have been falling... All my life I have been falling into... All my life I have been falling... You and I Have just one second And a million miles to go. Come with me.

You could have driven into someone else's driveway. You could have tried to find the bridge another day. I could have gone off to the fair, Or locked the door, or washed my hair. And in a way, that would be better. We could have chosen to ignore what we were feeling. We could have prayed to make the wanting go away. But what we did is that we loved, and love is always better. I could have gone with you and left behind the cornfields. I could have seen a world like none I'd ever known. I could have tied my dreams to yours and Slept beside you on the moors, and who can say? That might be better. I could have not been where my children turned for Answers, and never seen what they've become now that they're grown. But what I did was that I loved, and love is always better. It is hard, it is insane, to place one love above another. But what a choice, and what a gift, and what a blessing. I could have never known that love like this Existed, but then you kissed me and you left and then I knew. And what is true that we loved, And that I loved, and that I love, and that I will always love. And love is always better. You and I are just one second. Spinning by in one split second. You and I have just one second. And a million miles to go.

Holding you close against my skin, I'm holding you inside me. Suddenly there's a world I never knew. Kissing you now, the waves begin, and evermore divide me. Before and after you, you were the touch I once erased. The lines and walls around me. How did you know exactly what to do? Feeling your fingers on my waist, I know my fate has found me. Before and after you. Found and lost, torn in half, before and after you.
