Artifact #1

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What would it take to gain acceptance To the grounds behind your eyes? You know I'm open to suggestion The one you made we never tried [Chorus] You let it slip right out from under Your breath and it rolled around my head Oh, it was nothing I'd consider I knew it had to happen then [Verse 2] Stood on the banks of the Potomac We watched the water rushing by You said we should live in the moment But then I'd miss you all the time [Chorus] And I know no one will believe me But I don't want a second chance To be an object of desire If that means slipping through your hands [Bridge] If I had tried to make you mine You would have walked away Life can't compete with memories They never have to change [Verse 3] This world is full of missing persons All of these unsolved mysteries If someone says they know for certain They're selling something, certainly [Chorus] So when I set myself to wonder On all the questions that remain The only one that even matters Is when I'll see your face again [Outro] I keep looking back for artifacts To prove that you were here The sound that's been, keeps echoing It never disappears
