There Are Echoes by This Glass Embrace Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This time next year
Will this house be standing empty?
Will the walls still speak our names?
These songs we sang
Have settled deep into the carpet
When we're gone, will they remain?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And there's no winter in Arizona
Just a summer and a fall
It's been maybe nineteen years since you've seen snow

[Chorus]
Can I forget?
Please, forget?
The taste of history is bitter in my mouth
If anything I chose was right
If any deed was good, I can't recall it now

[Verse 2]
This time next year
Will you still be praying softly
As I'm drifting off to sleep?
We prayed for change
For anything to break the silence
Now I wish that we could stay
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And there's no winter in Arizona
Just a summer and a fall
I never thought I'd miss the mountains when I'd gone

[Chorus]
Can I forget?
Please, forget?
The taste of history is bitter in my mouth
If anything I chose was right
If any deed was good, I can't recall it now

[Bridge]
And this morning, entombed in the traffic
You started to think
If you could, would you rather
Be somebody, be somewhere, else?
If you could escape
All the nightmares that steal your sleep
Would you be willing to forfeit
The daydreams that make you yourself?

[Chorus]
Can I forget?
Please, forget?
The taste of history is bitter in my mouth
If anything I chose was right
If any deed was good, I can't recall it now
[Outro]
This time next year
Will this house be standing empty
This time next year
Will the walls still speak our names
This time next year
I'll settle deep into the carpet
This time next year
