The dust has long been settled since I buried all my charms
And I have seldom meddle in your affairs
I've long since excavated all the memories we've created
And I'm far removed from the art of splitting hairs
A footprint in the snow, a lover that I used to know
But that was such a long time ago
Sometimes my eyes hang heavy and my thoughts they drift astray
Your name can still monopolize my day
The stinging sound of silence it moves like thunder through my brain
The echoes of a world that's worn away
A footprint in the snow, a lover that I used to know
But that was such a long time ago
