Flags and Footprints

i'm looking for a reason why i see no shooting stars tonight

just a sign that everything's alright to quiet me, to quiet me

maybe all i hoped was wrong maybe all i dreamed is gone

maybe i was stupid all along for trying it, for trying it

but i believed in what you said

i trusted in your summer

now the leaves are turning red

and soon they'll all be coming down

how can i go on

if hope is what keeps me alive

and i'm so uncertain

it seems the more i look for you the more i fail to find the truth

maybe i'm affecting what i view with heavy veils and fairytales

maybe my research was sound but maybe i just fooled around

all flags and footprints but nothing further down to find you, to find you

but i believed in what you said

i trusted in your summer

now the leaves are turning red

and soon they'll all be coming down

how can i go on

if hope is what keeps me alive

and i'm so uncertain

i guess i learned the hard way or did i waste my time

i never met you half way but i crossed that line

and i believed in what you said

i trusted in your summer

now the leaves are turning red

and soon they'll all be coming down

how can i go on

if hope is what keeps me alive

maybe someday i'll know why
