lyrics

In the beginning
It all started so well.
There was a feeling of something new,

Every time in everything.
Energy, intensity
Flowing through the vibrant veins.

This special link, the common road
Made us feel like we were more than just the sum of all parts.

Sharing the same visions,
Moving the same levers.
We just never thought
Stagnation could obstruct the drive.

So I try another way
(So I tried it all)
To leave the fading past behind
And get back up again.

Turn the pages, come what may!
(Turn the pages all!)
The strenuous path you once walked
Might not be the only way.

So you go on
Like nothing’s ever changed
Focusing on the common ground.

Quiet hopes in the end
It might be as before
Growing insight has them die away.

What lies beyond can't be undone.
Sometimes you better change the route
And move in different directions.

Now all your hope is gone
And all the faith is lost
There's no time to look back,
The journey has just begun!

So I try another way
(So I tried it all)
To leave the fading past behind
And get back up again.

Turn the pages, come what may!
(Turn the pages all!)
The strenuous path you once walked
Might not be the only way.

I know it's hard to let go
Cause you cannot return.
But what's the use for you to stay?

And when you finally break free
Open the door and you will find someone Longingly waiting for that day to come.

So I try another way
(So I try another way)
To leave the strenuous path behind
Might be the only way.
The only way.

So I try another way
So I try another way
So I try another way.
