Words wasting away
Behind my skull
Words that never found you
So near but far
I couldn't foresee
This happening to you and me
We're on the backburner
Learning how to go
From one place to the next
So high but low
You could never stay in place
But you left me breadcrumbs to trace
And I couldn't finish what I'd started
And I couldn't arrive before I departed
Wishing they would all see
This fleshy prison is not for me
I found out all the secrets
Which anchor me to your shore
And disbelief taught me so
Couldn't believe what I saw
It was one hour at a time
I'd die for this crime
Forget what you know about me
For I'm sure this isn't real
I'm just the lubricant
That oils the wheel
I couldn't foresee
This happening to you and me.
