why are we moving so slow? it takes so long to get anywhere we go they say it's all who you know time's still the measure of the future we'll grow
it's even harder than you know to get this together faster than you blink and it's gone
breathe well I'm trying it's gone cold always faster than you know
too many days lost in a crowd too many days left alone at first I thought I'd never get out now I think I'll never get home
breathe well I'm trying she's gone cold faster than you blink and we're gone you disappear and I move on
I wake outside to empty night between her lips the taste of wine we both agree it cannot be we march this ghost back out to sea I couldn't leave you know I tried I shaped her skin beneath the light I slip into her empty room and find the things I left behind
asleep beside her quiet lines it takes too long to make things right I press against forgotten skin a phantom kiss of what we'd been I slip between her broken seam I lose all sense of what it means it always hurts, you knew it would you wouldn't change this if you could
and it's understood you wouldn't change this if you could
