About the Artist
Lyrics
"One year ago with a flower in hand One year ago we wrote our names in the sand The wind would blow your summer hair (One year ago) Once easy love, now you're making it rough You know I try and say it's never enough You left with ease and didn't care (One year ago) What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna finally get some sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone (When you're dead and gone) Ten years from now we'll be tired and old Ten years from now we won't ever leave home Singing ""I'll be there for you"" (Ten years from now) Give me the one and only reason that could make me believe You were everything I want, But not the thing that I need It's hard to say, it's sad but true What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna finally get some sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna finally get some sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone You only get redemption when you're dead and gone Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh When you're dead and gone"
