Inside, outside
How much does it matter
After the high tide
Who we were meant to be?
Come one, Come all
How much does it matter
After the rainfall
What we were meant to see?
Everything we were so sure would last
Just because it had survived the past
Take it, leave it
How much does it matter
If you believe it
Your hopes are real enough
Coming, going
How much does it matter
When the wind’s blowing
Who waits to call your bluff?
Everything we were so sure would last
Just because it had survived the past
Everything we were so sure we knew
Doesn’t help us if it isn’t true
Run away
Don’t look back
You mustn’t be
First to crack
Run away
Don’t hold on
When you return
This will all be gone
Giving, taking
Anything to keep
Your heart from breaking
To get you through one last night
Beginning, ending
Countless letters
You won’t be sending
Knowing that no one was right
Everything we were so sure would last
Just because it had survived the past
Everything we were so sure we knew
Doesn’t help us

One more day has slipped away
Leaving you the exact same way
As you were before
Only now you’re wanting more
From the day that lies ahead of you
But what are we to do
If time just does not care
That we have nowhere to go
It won’t be long
Now
No it won’t be long
‘Cause we don’t belong
Anyhow
It won’t be long
Now
No it won’t be long
‘Cause we don’t belong
No we never belonged
Anyhow

Sideways, Anyways

From your room with a view
Of the end of it all
You knew just what to do
When you heard the call
I know you know
And I know you can’t say
Where you’d go
If it all fell apart today
Is this all you need
Is there nothing more?
I never should have agreed
To follow you through that door
No way to say
How many hours remain
But for this one last day
There’s no use in feeling pain

In Your Absence

Would you believe
There’s nothing up my sleeve
Just a dream I can’t shake
And a chance I can’t take
Footprints
In fresh snow
Follow
Me to
Where I
Must go
With each passing day
There’s less and less to say
Will you be found
Before I run aground?
Footprints
In fresh snow
Follow
Me to
Where I
Must go
How long
Will it be my fate
To search the horizon
And to wait
For that evening
To return?
How long
Until I learn?
Footprints
In fresh snow
Follow
Me to
Where I
Must go

Left
To sift through what was lost
To tally up the cost
Of one more day
Dead
Last to see the light
First to have lost sight
Of the way
Right
Here where we began
Despite how far we ran
All for naught
Alive
And so close you can’t think
But if you dare blink
You will be caught

You are a fool
For staring with such dread
At what may lie ahead
I am a fool
For staring with such fear
At what may lie behind
If I could suggest
Somewhere we could fix
Our eyes instead
I’d say that if we
Can’t see the ground beneath our feet
We might as well be blind
Clinging to a drowning dream
Of a better past
Bound down by elastic lies
Never meant to last
Telling me there’s little use
In so much of what we do
Telling me there’s little use
In asking you
We would be wise
To spend a little less time
Asking what might be
So what do you say
We stand above our fears
And see what we can see
Clinging to a drowning dream
Of a better past
Bound down by elastic lies
Never meant to last
Telling me there’s little use
In so much of what we do
Telling me there’s little use
In asking you

The Return

It’s time to pack
And turn your back
On what is gone
Keep staring at the sky
Withhold that last goodbye
Till dawn
One day the light went out
Replacing hope with doubt
That grew
My stomach tied in knots
Trapped inside my thoughts with you
Wounds too deep
For time to heal
Pain you keep
And never reveal
And must never feel
The words you left behind
Still ring inside a mind
Gone dark
The day has passed
We recognize at last
Our arc
Wounds too deep
For time to heal
Pain you keep
And never reveal
And must never feel
What lies beneath the veneer
Beyond the fear
How could it be
No one could see
Beneath your skin
Inside your sin?
