There Are Echoes / The Paper Sky 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]
I know, I can't just wait and hope
The world won’t change because I want it to
I know there must be more than this
I make thе same mistakes and hope for somеthing new
[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]
I know, I can't just wait and hope
The world won’t change because I want it to
I know there must be more than this
I make the same mistakes and hope for something new
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I know, I can't just wait and hope
The world won’t change because I want it to
I know there must be more than this
I make the same mistakes and hope for something new
[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
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]
I know, I can't just wait and hope
The world won’t change because I want it to
I know there must be more than this
I make thе same mistakes and hope for somеthing new
[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]
I know, I can't just wait and hope
The world won’t change because I want it to
I know there must be more than this
I make the same mistakes and hope for something new
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I know, I can't just wait and hope
The world won’t change because I want it to
I know there must be more than this
I make the same mistakes and hope for something new
[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
