Where The Light Gets Lost

I know how the story goes
flown from the flagpole at dawn
I had my chance and tried to let you know
I had my chance and this is letting go

But you could be patient babe
or run away
might never learn the cost
I'm sorry I could never answer
where the light gets lost

I'm still sat here waiting up
not sure if I should go
and search for you yet
keep thinking that my luck is running up
so maybe I should just place the bet

But I keep on wading out
it's good enough for now
but which stream can you trust
I'm sorry I could never answer
where the light gets lost

That's us out in the virgin snow
playfully trading blows
and taking when we must
I'm sorry I could
never answer where the light gets lost
where the light gets lost
