[Verse 1]
Today I saw a face I only dream of
Recognized a feeling that I used to know
From another time, a space I thought I left long ago

[Verse 2]
I stood a while, I felt my breath escape me
Spoke her name, then, as she turned to face me
For a second, there was something in her eyes
As if to say, nothing has ever changed

[Chorus]
We took our separate ways
But in our hearts, we never changed
We threw it all away
Could we go back once again?
I learned to carry on, I learned to face another day
Without her, without her trace
So close, we nearly touched
I almost took her hand in mine
Time can fall away
But nothing can change the man inside
Or bring us back the love once we denied

[Verse 3]
The candle burned, but in the world of darkness
I'd separate my life before and after her
Now I see that nothing ever really changed, but it's too late
[Verse 4]
Stood a while, I felt my breath escape me
Spoke her name, then, as she turned to face me
For a second, there was something in her eyes
As if to say, time and tide can wait

[Chorus]
We took our separate ways
But in our hearts, we never changed
We threw it all away
Could we go back once again?
I learned to carry on, I learned to face another day
Without her, without her trace
So close, we nearly touched
I almost took her hand in mine
Time can fall away
But nothing can change the man inside
Or bring us back the love once we denied

[Chorus]
Took our separate ways
But in our hearts, we never changed
Threw it all away
Could we go back once again?
I learned to carry on, I learned to face another day
Without her, without her trace
So close, we nearly touched
I almost took her hand in mine
Time can fall away
But nothing can change the man inside
Or bring us back the love once we denied
