i screamed at my skin, "please stay younger."
where did the years go when i was
feeling stronger?
right out the window when i was driving your car,
in the rear view i saw my
heart. it spun and landed in the front yard
of a place i knew before.
before i knew it, distance crossed my mind. divides my spirits, half for
faith and half for better times. so how long is four years? it's an eternity i
suppose. infinity beckons me to a simple place to hide.
lay down and cover your eyes so bright from awful morning light. i'm so
scared of death, not fond of life and facing my fears doesn't feel right so
i'll carry on tonight. lay down and draw the blinds, the past is always on my
mind.
so call me at midnight or call me anytime, i'm patiently waiting, the past
is on my mind. i memorized the nuances of conversation held that night, i
memorized every detail of your skin, we were spread so thin.
could've seen you in the basement, could've seen you in the hall. but it
doesn't even matter, cuz it was nothing at all.
i've been thinking what you said is true, our lives are reds and greens and
shades of blue, our colored pasts reveal what is true, nothing that i said to
you paints a pretty portrait of us two, we're different shades of blue.
