lyrics

One day when I'm old and have a home and work a job
I'll think about the life we could have had, had I stuck around
The thought is blinding
I guess it's just a case of bad timing.

And had I only known that love is hard to find alone
I'd have constructed a life with you the corner stone
It can't be
But maybe you are better off without me.

I know it's selfish to think
That maybe you'd wait for me
Cause time has no empathy
But maybe she'll wait for me
I'd love her endlessly.

I need something to sink my brain from surfacing today
Cause I know I won't be seeing you until the end of May
And now my shades are drawn
Leaving my head with nothing but what I've made up.

The wrinkles in my bed are telling me it's only a dream
But the books I read keep pushing me to fall between
What I would like to see
But I'll be okay
Just hold hands with me.

I know it's selfish to think
That maybe you'd wait for me
Cause time has no empathy
But maybe she'll wait for me
I'd love her endlessly.

She says to me
Fill your heart
Cause there's nothing we can do but be apart
It's hard for me to take
But I promise I will stay awake
I promise I will stay awake.
