I grew up without ever forgetting The city keeps going as I trace the tall buildings with my eyes And it's pathetic how what I remember most Is my face as I wrote "lies" on a rock and threw it I acted like it was nothing And tried to play it off with words But I can't take a single step forward with the brakes on How many people do we meet in this limited time we have? Erase those days of regret And the time will come when you realize The importance of what's right in front of you 'Cause there are infinite tomorrows I couldn't answer because I wasn't confident Now I still feign ignorance when I pass the place where I hurt you I wrote it off as something unimportant But even now when I remember you crying over the phone I want to hold you and say I'm sorry Back then I insisted I wasn't wrong But now there are so many things I'm realizing I'm here, smiling embarrassedly at your kindness, because I want to be honest So let me hold your outstretched hand Through so many hellos and goodbyes Our shadows are always flickering in that orange box How many people do we meet in this limited time we have? Erase those days of regret And the time will come when you realize The importance of what's right in front of you 'Cause there are infinite tomorrows 'Cause tomorrow will come again and again
