|
well no one ever said |
|
time goes faster when you're dragging your bones |
|
stuck at home |
|
and in your eyes I caught |
|
the actual fire of just what living could be |
|
and that's gone from me |
|
so you had to go |
|
oh why did I move so slowly |
|
mouth frozen over the word wait |
|
running like it wasn't too late |
|
on train lines on bus rides |
|
through snow storms through clear skies |
|
past house lights past windows |
|
through curtains catch fire glows |
|
and so what riches lay |
|
out there where you went to where I never could go |
|
cause my holes might show |
|
and I still think of you |
|
in my mind I watch you catching ride after ride |
|
it all opened wide |
|
and you should know |
|
I'd have run from myself lurching |
|
like something broken for the gate |
|
running but it was too late |
|
on train lines on bus rides |
|
through snow storms through clear skies |
|
past house lights past windows |
|
through curtains catch fire glows |
|
past dinners past laughter |
|
close your eyes go faster |
|
past missing past hoping |
|
past drinking past smoking |
|
past old books past new clothes |
|
to nights where no moon rose |
|
past phone calls past hands held |
|
kiss them like they're the whole world |
|
past loving past taking |
|
to new starts you're making |
|
I'm watching from back here |
|
I'm so glad you got clear |
