Artifact #1

What would it take to gain acceptance To the grounds behind your eyes You know I'm open to suggestion The one you made we never tried

Let it slip right out from under Your breath and it rolled around my head It was nothing I'd consider I knew it had to happen then

Stood on the banks of the Potomac We watched the water rushing by You said we should live in the moment Then I'd miss you all the time

And I know no one will believe me But I don't want a second chance To be an object of desire If that means slipping through your hands If I had tried to make you mine You would have walked away I can't compete with memories They never have to change

This world is full of missing persons All of these unsolved mysteries If someone says they know for certain They're selling something certainly

So when I set myself to wonder All the questions that remain The only one that even matters Is when I'll see you're face again

I keep looking back for artifacts To prove that you were here The sound that's been keeps echoing It never disappears
