Lyrics
I loved you before I knew to hold some back
I lost you before I knew to treat every minute like the last
When we were young
I made a promise to you
We'd run through the meadow, you and I
Under the bright summer sky
But life it seems
Moves faster away than toward
And that summer day got shelved away
While I was chasing something more
And every summer I swore
I'm on the way
I'm on the way
One day we'll skip through meadows
One day we'll skip through meadows
One day we'll skip through meadows
But not today
A life is lead in constant dread of a midnight phone call
And when mine came, they said your name, and I felt my heart fall
But the things I love
I hadn't yet lost enough
Caught up in my chase, I said you'd be fine
And I took my time
And your sun set before we ever had our day
You died all alone while I was patiently waiting on a plane
Reassuring myself that
I'm on the way
I'm on the way
One day we'll skip through meadows
One day we'll skip through meadows
But not today
I clutched you tight in the morning light and whispered in your ear
I was searching for something more, now I found it and I'm finally here
Now seasons come and go
But on those bright summer days
The cloud sin my eyes don't let the light through
Because summer I promised you
And now to spend a lifetime apart
As you slowly fade from everybody else's busy minds and hearts
But every year
In the back of my mind
I'll be slowly singing
For the rest of my life
I'm on the way
Yeah and one day we'll skip through meadows
But not today
I loved you before I knew to chase what I have
I lost you, and most of my heart too, but I'll never ask for it back
