Even Now - Vertical Horizon

Even now

After all these years

I think about you

With both joy and pain

Even now

I remember when you left

I walked all night

Through the rain

Broken and lost

Swearing I’d never love that way again

Even then

You were aiming much higher

Somewhere higher than you thought I could fly

Even then

You were looking for rainbows

Something more than a cloudless blue sky

Now you tell me you were wrong

You never should have left me for an empty dream

Now you spill out your regrets

A mighty river to a bitter stream

Lying awake

Thinking about all that might have been

I guess we’re even now

Even now

More often than I’d like

I think about you

And the place we used to share

Even now

I remember all the songs

And the perfume in your hair

I was carried away

Until you cut me down in midair

Even then

There was something inside you

Something bright

That was burning so cold

Even then

There was something about you

Something dark that I couldn’t hold

And now you tell me that your life

Has never been the free flight

You thought it would be Now you know it’s way too late

All we’ve got is history

You know that when I lost you

You lost me I guess we’re even now

Even then

You were looking for rainbows

Even then in a perfect blue sky

I guess we’re even now

All that summer

In the moonlight

You were dreaming

I was believing
