Rub my dry eyes
Now, along this glimmering wave of time
Feel the sting of an old scar I’d forgotten
Gonna buy up every disinfectant.
“Hold on” I say as I change my tune
I was reckless back then
An uncool kid, that acted tough and acted out
But I kinda feel proud of him
Tell me more about you
The colors you see, the future, everything you feel
I’m sure they’re meaningful enough to draw tears
Trudging forward on a day that repeats and paints a contradiction
I’m so sick of it!
Don’t let the empty spaces go unhealed
Wishing the best to our closely held hands
Thank you for staying beside me
Keep me beside you just a little longer
I’ll leave at eight and catch the train home
And if any little thing should go astray
Take no notice and just mute it all out
Disappearing before I could say goodbye
Where did you go!?
I’ll take it all on my shoulders and remember it all
I never wanted to burden you
Let love light up this withered city
As we repeat the cycle of life and death
The sky above stained in shades of red
No matter how many tears you wept
Let love light up this withered city
As we repeat the cycle of life and death
To never let go of our closely held hands
We live our lives right here right now
Chasing that forgotten warmth
Wandered into this saddened fate
Begging with my dulled senses
“We can still make it all work”
Trudging forward step by step through a fading today
I’m so sick of it!
Don’t let broken feelings go unhealed
Wishing the best to our closely held hands
Thank you for the smile you gave me
