Look at the clock
See the pattern
Four ones
Two elevens

People often comment
Even you it seems
How much
I make just a few numbers mean

But don't you remember
That chilly morning
When you asked the question
You had wished would
Change
Everything

You wanted me to be yours
And when I said no
I didn't mean it

And when I said no
I wanted it

And when I wished that day
on 11/11/11
at 11:11:11

I wished for a future where
I could change my answer

And so now
When I see the clock
Hit those magic numbers
I hold the present day
On the silver platter
Up high
That I should have put
You on

So long, long ago

Close my eyes
Just for a second
Time flies
The past is beckoned

Colorful leaves
Cover the trees
When they start to fall
You usually leave

But not this time
We have made it this far
Maybe this is a sign
That we'll have forever this time

Open my eyes
Wish on a star
Smile deep on the inside
And be happy for where we are

The calm before the storm
Born again in new form

Our destruction
Comes from within
No matter how often
We say never let it end

So used to the goodbyes
And all the hidden lies
Keeping secrets behind your beautiful eyes
Crying silent but meaningful cries

But if we keep our eyes
On the prize
And never say our goodbyes
Gone forever will be the cruel and silent cries

When we do this well
There is nothing I wouldn't do
This love I want to keep
I will always come back to you

So let's do this right
The end will never be in sight
