he looked over his shoulder
For you a thousand times over
He ran off through the alley way
I remember the face I remember the face I…
Looked to the horizon
My bodies trembling
I am nervous I am scared
Not to mention unprepared and I cannot tell why
I got so lost in the mindset
So deadset on the prize
Felt the cold in the air but thought it would stay there
Though I came to realize…
My bones and my body
Cold as the Bering Sea
And I’m hoping and praying
You’d smile just once for me
We were the sultans of Kabul
And we held fast to our rule
We fought off armies side by side
You wont be left behind
I ate the sun and spat it out
Just to prove what I could do
Always wanted you to notice always dreamed that you would care
Even though you knew you should
My bones and my body
Cold as the Bering Sea
And I’m hoping and praying
You’d smile just once for me
My bones and my body
Cold as the Bering Sea
And I’m hoping and praying
You’d smile just once for me
So as my brother races on
Something’s wrong god something’s wrong
Stop turn back get outta here
It’s not right, it’s not right…
I followed your footsteps through the snow outside
Walking mile after mile for you a thousand times
I’m feeling helpless but I got to try
Came across an alley, where I saw you lie
I followed your footsteps through the snow outside
Walking mile after mile for you a thousand times
I want to scream but I can’t make a sound
I can’t do a thing except close my eyes.
