It’s been awhile and the pictures we had are faded. 
When the same mistakes brings common truth to what we hated. 
When one could be empty [and tired of being empty], 
We gotta be ones who are always there, 
To know and always care, 
Always have always, always seize the day, 
Always look inside, always modify, 
Always have always, 
Because always is a place. 

When it’s been awhile 
And the flowers she gave have withered. 
When the same mistakes brings common truth to what we’ve hated. 
When one could be empty [and tired of being empty], 
We gotta be ones who are always there, to know and always care, 
Always have always, always seize the day, 
Always look inside, always modify, 
Always have always, 
Because always is a place. 

And I’d like to go there, 
Where love must grow, 
Where it’s all they know. 
And I’d like to see it. 
Where substance stays. 
Because that’s always. 
We’ve gotta be ones.
