I took my time to open up
But this time I took too much
So we stood and stared that night
Under the loneliest and dimmest plaza light
I did not want to go
The glass on the windshield accumulated rain
As I sat so still, accumulating pain
And I swear my mind was too fogged to know what to do
So I put the car in drive and I sped away from you
But I didn't wanna go
I just wanted you to know that
If I was ready to let go
Would I have trembled as I spoke?
And as we walked out to the road
Were you surprised when I pulled you close?
And I didn't let you go
Words couldn't say what I needed to express
So I held them in 'til I was gasping for breath
And I spent all summer on a chase in vain
For a joy I'll never have, but I pretend I'll chase again
Oh I didn't wanna go
I just wanted you to know
If I was ready to let go
Would I have trembled as I spoke?
And as we walked out to the road
Were you surprised that I held you close?
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
To know

If I could turn my head and be tall as I stand
If I could forget all my plans that now are damned
If I could shrug you off like you did to my hand
Believe me I would find a way
And I would be in better shape
You were second best
So you second guessed
You played too close to the vest
You played it too close to the vest
Take a second now and think of someone else
Or take a minute now and take care of yourself
Take the smart road and avoid the coming hell
And maybe you will find a way
And you will be in better shape
You were second best
So you second guessed
You played too close to the vest
You played it too close to the vest
You longed for the beach but you found the water cold
And you could use the heat but you couldn't take it whole
And so you tried to prove that what you wanted was so bold
But then you changed your mind and found my hand no longer there to hold
And you were second best
You were second best
You were second best
You were second best
You played it too close

A Sentence

Sir, look here, I found your daughter
She's sitting on a wall with her eyes full of water
Tear-stained cheeks from thoughts of you
Her memory serving for despair renewed
She's 7 you know, turns 8 this year
A figure you'll match and one she fears
And in your absence two flowers await
Older and wiser than they should be made
I hope you wither in your guilt
I hope you know that petals wilt
And every day as time drags by
I hope you know your flowers cry
And you won't see, but pretty soon
Their stems will reach up toward the moon
And you'll be gone and unaware
Of strength they had to make it there
Then out of blue the day will come
You'll run, you'll run, you'll run
Back to bulbs that you once knew
But they'll have blossomed without you

Indifference

I have been waiting outside
So I decide to leave and drive
Away, away
Leaving you behind
Away, away
And you're still inside
It dawns on me that I'm not new
I'm just older, and so are you
It's changed, it's changed
But not because of the new year
We've changed, we've changed
And we're still not that close, dear
This still feels uncomfortable
And this still feels impossible
And things are the still the same
We're just too different
And there's no one to blame
We're just indifferent
I step inside and I'm at home
I decide, I decide, I decide
Things are better when we're both alone
For change, for change
And I realize
It's changed, we've changed
And I don't mind
This still feels uncomfortable
And this still feels impossible
And things are the still the same
We're just too different
And there's no one to blame
We're just indifferent

Actions

When your actions came to light
You claimed a fuzzy state of mind
And you swore you had forgotten
The unfoldings of the night
And as you asked for explanation
You could barely keep a lie
Recalling every detail you wished you could leave behind
We whispered a location
We found our destination
But never did we realize what in morning was to come
And before I walked out the door
I took a look at you on the floor
You felt like one I waited for for sure
But I swear you never were
I swore you were the one I least expected
As you tore away your skin, your shell on fire
I was sure you were the one I took for granted
Before awaking not a meter higher
But I swear you never were
