lyrics

You're here now, but only for so long,
I fear now now, are we only held together by a thread that binds a place?
And maybe it will sever with time and space,
For sure as hell I told myself there'll never come a day,
When we compromise, to not again relate

What are we to call ourselves,
Anything but random chance, skewed by lucky circumstance?
Promise me there's something more,
Through the crevasse great in depth,
although we may all feel inept at love,
I'll stand by you

Old friend,
I thought you'd stay a while,
Cold sand,
Had it had a hand in falling though our hourglass with no preface?
And calling done an epilogue of smiling grace,
For sure as hell I told myself, it never was too late,
I feared you may be gone, but I never lost the taste

Remember when we poured out hearts over a canvas,
And gazed at artificial stars?
And all that we could do was laugh,
At the nothingness that had crept over us,
High on a life that would soon be forgot

And though this travel may seem tough,
I fear you're growing weary, that you've maybe had enough
When I say that I can only stay for a week or for a day I'm hoping
Oh I'm hoping,
That you don't write me off
