The Hour When I First Believed

Once I was a freer man

Now I have a harder time giving up

The seasons change on shifting sands

And I hope that I'll still understand my favorite songs

And the hour when I first believed

It didn't last, but it made such a scene

It was real as hell, then it faded to a dream

But I can't let go

No, I won't let go

I'll be giving up slow

Once I had a kingdom

It was fleeting and invisible, but it was clear

The moments pass

And I hope that I remember all the reasons why I held it dear

In the hour when I first believed

It started strong, then it turned to something weak

I wanted everything, a knowledge so complete

And I can't let go

No, I won't let go

I'm giving up slow

I'm giving up slow

I'm giving up slow

I'm giving up slow

I'm giving up slow
