Taken back to that familiar place
Caught up in the swirl of memories
I walk into a land of everlasting stillness
A garden full of weathered carvings and shapes
Marking the beginning and the end
Continues blooming with granite and marble flowers
Time and again I return to let you go once more
But I will not forget you
Even though we’re forever apart
No matter where life takes me
I wish we could go back to its start
Singing hey ya, hey ya...
Unaffected by the passage of time
As long as love exists, this sacred ground
Will remain a temple for the broken hearted
Where in the distant glimmer of a new dawn
You always wait to greet me with a smile
Oh, I’ve missed our long one-sided conversations
We are supposed to let go, push forward through the hurt
I will not forget you
Even though we’re forever apart
No matter where life takes me
I wish we could go back to simpler times
Before I realized that I would have
To carry on without you
Years have passed yet still sometimes
I gaze upon the sky in hopes to spot
Another trail reminding me
About the day I'll see you once again
I will not forget you
Even though we’re forever apart
No matter where life takes me
I wish we could go back to its start
Singing hey ya, hey ya...
