miles to fairweather +
awake a new day. this division has a new familiar feel, though it's nothing at all like it used to be. what words could you say? to paint the picture of my life a little clearer, for me to believe, remember where i am. remember what you said, remember what you had, so is it better to reflect than to move on? move on these days, restless and overwhelmed with caution. breathe out a sigh of struggle. sit down and contemplate the decisions that you have made. do you see this ending fine? any time now, or any time soon... i'm trying to let go. to listen. so hard to swim through, withstanding the truth. trying to let go, to listen and to know. but so much meant nothing here now... i'm still in this perennial life preserve, with miles to fairweather. i should know better than to run from something i can't see. breaking me, exhausting me. but there's nothing to do but wait. nothing to do but wait. nothing to do but wait....

i've never been so sure of how i feel right now. the wave has now crashed over me and i'm already found. because i just heard the news that someone's been looking. someone's been looking in me. looking in me. please don't believe what you see. there's only so much on the surface. it can't be all of me. and if you were to find things that threaten what you feel. you'll be the first to admit its nothing a lie can't heal. i was there, and wasn't it all that i wanted? wasn't it all that i asked for? wasn't it the first thing i knew? now i can't tell. and who believes their hearts cannot be believed? and what does that say for me when i believed so foolishly? but now i know, because how far we've come together i don't think i could let you go. what you are still holds so much value and i just thought you might need to know. after all regret passed over, its not your fault, and i have learned to accept the years have passed. except for what you waste of it. waiting never solves this, its all in what you make of it. so this is the last song for you. this is the last song for me for you.

on a bridge we slowly walk somewhere, the shinning moon and your hair, we always froze time when we kissed, i'd die in your arms if forever was this, you are a painting, colors from my dreams, and you gave me all these memories, so i'll lie next to you, in my arms you sleep, feel whole, i know you're a part of me, please don't say good-bye... you can't be lost, if you're in my arms, feel everything, give you all my heart, promise to return home, give you everything, you are never alone, gave you all my everything. remember, i'll never give up on you, anything you ever need me to do, in my heart, it's never cold, and my heart, i know you hold

too slow for a short stop +
i need more time to see that your not getting this, and don't wait because i don't get you anyway, and don't wait because i wont get you anyway in the end. and if its one in a million, i'll guess i'm the one, but if all this never even counted, i hope i wake up. and while you sit waiting, thinking, i'll be dreaming, of what its like to hold your hand, of what its like to hold you. hold you. here with hands that won't find courage, i need you to rescue me, can't find sense in all this nonsense, but i've been here long enough to see, all this by myself has made me well enough alone. rest assured that you'd be here. but your not anywhere yet.

is this all you think you'll have? the trick is not to fall so fast; so as breaking when you finally realize. so this is how it's set. you're not ready to give up yet. and it's not ok until it's perfect, right? so much for what you know. fight steady and let things go. and remember feeling while it's more than you asked for. and it's not enough to see regret, are you certain this will be the last? my security knows i am losing control. have i been designed to live through every failure? and if i never learn, will these chances i take pull me under again? i know, you said you're not ready yet. do you see through it all? this might not be what you need. and i am so tired, so tired of trying hard. don't wear yourself down in these promises you made. i know you said you are not ready yet. do you see that i am letting you know? it's ok, i'm breathing. i'm still here believing. i don't see you leaving me.... there you are. there you are. you are....

you said this love was what the world was made of, but now i'm feeling every thread tear at the seam. behind the ice is an angry fire, but is it just as well? so you can't reach me now, and its clear that you're gone. . . so why do i wait like it hasn't been that long. and each of these petals are loosing their lives, no thanks to this problem and your early goodbye. and all of our secrets are loosing their ties, no thanks to this problem. all while i stand by, just to watch you fade away. . .this open wound hasn't had enough time to heal. and watch you fade away, i've made my own times, while you became everything you made cold. nothing makes me want to lose my way, but no matter how i try i just can't find the words to say. i can't sit here and just let you walk away, when i keep thinking that theres got to be a better way. this is crystal clear, there is nothing more to say, now or never had it's day, and just so you know.. i'm not ok, im sick and feel uncomfortable, all i've seen is so hard to keep these days.

here i am. no one knows. i'm getting cold. you wont think twice, because i always seem fine. and you think i'm selling my song. but i'm giving my heart to the one thing that i know for sure. trying to open myself as much as i can. while i still can't see anyone but you, but you. . . and when i'm done. waiting. i peek to see. this star just gets brighter, in the sky, even if it's surrounded...by a million others. nothing else pierces my heart with the clearest emotion, and the only one i can't say that i really feel. i've tried to tell you. i feel this everywhere. i'm getting closer now. i'm getting closer now. thinking thoughts i never think, could you teach me to the things i thought i never wanted, i guess you held me all along. people holding hands around me, thinking i'm alright. i'm alright, i'm alright with everything. if this still comes in leap year, i can read you loud and clear. i can't see you like i used to, and i can't fear you anymore. we can't take the one thing that makes us feel at home. you wont think twice because I always seem fine. so here i am. no one knows i'm getting cold. you wont think twice because i always seem fine. . .seem fine. . .im feeling fine.

this is what i get +
if you listen first then you may not reach this end. you may be happy for as long as you pretend everything that is said is done. forget the fact that for her its just not as fun. i know it's bad enough i missed, lost in the madness of a kiss, and left to feel the way i do. the cost of loving someone who wont love you. now i'm dying, there's nothing left. i've shown through and can't reset. for that, this is what i get. waiting after you. . after you. i'm sorry for holding on so long without your help. i tried my best to understand. you wanted this and i confess i'm so selfish to think i had a right to seek perfection. waiting after you. . .after you. there is nothing left to think about. a see through promise is all i found. you think i gave it all up. i gave it all to be where i am. and i feel this breaking my heart but i was tired of waiting and listening for the day you would tell me when it's ok. its ok now, i've grown from this somehow.
