"A Thousand Years" lyrics

I've waited a thousand years
But it's still not enough
I want to retrace all my steps again
To find out where we grew up
Where we grew up

Tell me, is this all a dream?
Tell me it was all a dream
Just wake me if I fall asleep
'Cause I'll never know if I'm sleepwalking

Time's a virtue we don't know
A fleeting moment like falling snow
A drop in an ocean that overflows

I've waited a thousand years
But it's still not enough
I want to retrace all my steps again
To find out where we grew up
They say this story is never ending

But we've only just begun
And this journey is far from done

Sweet child, you'll melt in the sun
In this crescent wax ship the moonlight carries on

Time's a virtue we don't know
A fleeting moment like falling snow
A drop in an ocean that overflows

I've waited a thousand years
But it's still not enough
I want to retrace all my steps again
To find out where we grew up
They say this story is never ending
But it's only just begun

We've just begun to witness the fragile nature in our lives
A sunset getting dimmer with the rising of the tide
We're distant, we cut the strings that tie and bind
Our porcelain bodies get left behind

And every time that you look back
You waste the moment we could have had
We waste the moment we could have had

I've waited a thousand years
But it's still not enough
I want to find the pages left undone
And tie all the loose ends up
No, this story isn't over
It's only just begun

It's only just begun
