All these days
I'll forever cherish
In the confines of my heart
The faces of ten years ago
Like fingerprints on my heart

How can I breathe
When fear chokes my every breath?
How can I balance
Six inches from death?
Now the momentum we've created
Comes to a screeching halt
This angel comes crashing down
On her hands and knees she crawls

How can I breathe
When fear chokes my every breath?
How many of your lies
Will I be fed?

The remains of summer memories
Spent so far away
Free from the fear or jealousy
That plagues our lives today
Now that promises we're broken
Enemies were made
We spend our precious time pointing fingers
Trying to place the blame

The remains of what's left
Of our past
Of a future yet to come
Of the battles that we've lost
And the fights that we have won

    General Comment:For some reason, this song reminds me of Ignite. Maybe it's Tim's range.

    General Comment:Yeah, I agree with damloser, it's about remembering the good times, not wasting the precious moments of your life, not filling them with hatred and regret.

    General Comment:I think this song is about remembering the "good times" and about not wasting life. Also, something with a car crash. Like the line, "we spend our precious time pointing fingers" and " how can I breathe when fear chokes my every breath?" are saying that people shouldn't be afraid of living and not to waste time fighting with people, since it is just time lost with nothing achieved.
    I'm pretty sure their is some thing about a car crash with the lyrics,
    "how can I balance
    six inches from death?
    now, the momentum we've created
    comes to a screeching halt
    this angel comes crashing down
    on her hands and knees she crawls"
