A giant bright eagle has come On me and taken away my universe I find myself in trouble now I put my soul in irresponsible hands Exhausted I no longer try to reveal myself And I no longer want to free my soul But I must not forget all what I did for us

Only lonely for you at night The sun doesn't shine Only lonely for you at night, ah Only lonely for you when And I try to forget why Why you're not here by my side I start to panic when the sun goes down I stay this jacked 'til the lights go out Don't

Oh I'm alive And this time I won't forget I'm taking my first breath And the tears begin to swell Tears I dare not fight 'Cause now I'm alive Now I'm alive Oh, I will try But I tell you it ain't easy using only words

Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on (I gotta tell you) Maybe the water's high Taking back an empty threat More than you could ever know To try and not forget Hoping that you'd never know

The mysteries met So the chemistry set And I'm not the saddest cheerleader to forget the American word For the gang in the head That dwindles 'til no members won The sky looks threatened heading home in the dust Singing "Life is Forgetting" Good enough

A giant bright eagle has come On me and taken away my universe I find myself in trouble now I put my soul in irresponsible hands Exhausted I no longer try to reveal myself And I no longer want to free my soul But I must not forget all what I did for us
