Were there one moment
In the day
That words didn't fly
In flights and swarms
From our mouths
To the sky
Without stopping
By our ears,

I might consider
Telling you
How I feel about
What we're turning
Into now,
But why say
Even one word
If you won't hear?

We lie here
In fear
That we will
Make this work.

Does being enslaved
To ourselves
Make us
Free?

We are old and alive
And allowed to drive.
But between you and me
I'll never feel free.

We are old but alive
And we've had our time.
Just listen when I say
We'll be together one day.

I think I got tricked
Into holding the hand
Of a boy I didn't know
Because I couldn't withstand.

Now I don't know
If I'll ever see him again
But I think I might want to
Every now and then.

So they walked up the mountain
Among frozen air and raccoons,
To share a first kiss
That led to many similar afternoons.

You didn't know my age,
My favorite color, nor my name,
So why was I surprised that
To you I was just a game?
