lyrics

Getting to you was like climbing a mountain.
With each step I grew nearer but felt farther away from the ground.
Your summit made me feel in ways which I’d not;
The wind a kiss brushing quickly ‘round my neck.
Exciting me; Awakening my love of the climb.
To think that I caused you
1/10 how I feel now;
Reminds me with each inhale
Why it’s over a summit once reached
And it’s over, never again to be scaled.
Each mountain I climb
I must climb back down.
But this time I’m falling
Pushed, pushed to the ground.
Walking away your words echo in my ear,
Almost condoning the habit you hated so dear.
“This is what it must feel like to need a cigarette,” you say as I go.
But nicotine spiked smoke soothes my tears and not yours.
Avoiding your sunshining eyes, the ones I once looked for.
Moments now past remind me -it was.
I lose the trail winding my way down, down, down
My feet recognize each rock upon which I once clambered.
Now their shadows cast down,
Down, down, down.
Each mountain I climb
I must climb back down.
But this time I’m falling
Pushed to the ground
Each mountain I climb
I must climb back down
But this time I'm falling
You pushed, pushed me back to the ground.
