I wish that I’d known just this time last year
That everything set in stone would change
But even if the sands erode all I’ve ever known,
The magic here always stays the same
Time just moves too fast and my heart too slow
To look outside and recognize the rain
Until there comes a thunderstorm that shakes my world
I always assume the moon will shine on me again
I wish that I’d known just this time last year
(Time just moves too fast and my heart too slow)
That everything set in stone would change
(To look outside and recognize the rain)
But even if the sands erode
(until there comes a thunderst-)
All I’ve ever known
The magic always will shine on me again.
