There's no fast forward
I can't find the rewind
I have no control
Over time as it flies
And when I'm in agony
It simply won't pass by
Slowing to a crawl
Dragging out my silent cries
Seems life's a series
Of fast paced slow motion
Before I can even reach out
I've lost a thousand moments
And when I finally decide
To give up on catching time
Something beautiful occurs
Before my very eyes

I hang on too long
Arms go the wrong way
I guess I just want
The moment to stay
I hold on too tight
Fingertips pressed into skin
Clinging onto time
When will I see you again?

I'm a broken record dying to be played
Stranded up on a shelf
Lonely and afraid

It's already over
So just move on*
But God ******
It feels so wrong
You told me forever
And I guess it's been that long
I lost track of time
I can't believe you're gone

Hair pulled back
Head-achingly tight
Make up painted on
Smoky black around her eyes
There's nothing she's really looking for
Under her foolish disguise
Just someone to lay with
To help her forget the darkness of night

And all the gifts you gave
Couldn't mend my broken heart
You took me all over the place
Yet my head stayed at the start
You spoiled me with sweets
And I rotted to my feet
Flesh falling off my bones
For vultures to swoop down and eat
I don't care about wrapping paper
Or hundred dollar receipts
I wish you'd see
That all these things
Could never replace
Having you next to me

I wish I could kiss you
Just one more time
And taste the sin
Between your lips and mine
I wish I could touch you
And see your face
But you're long gone
You're far away
I'll never forget
Just how you taste
It was so unique
And when I lay
Perfectly still
And close my eyes
Your lips again
Rest upon mine
