Its been two years
Two days, two hours
There are no more promises
I have shattered every last one

  How endless have our tears rolled
  How long did it take me to lose you
  How long did it take you to love me
  I've lost count, once, twice, once again

You got around to getting me
I got around to making you...happy
We were both very free
Everything in an instant working

  How very quick I lost grip
  We were both human, both indecisive
  You are special, no one will alter that
  Reminding me of everything wonderful

Its been two years
Two days, two hours
There are no more promises
I have shattered every last one

  Remember when we got on each other's nerves
  We squandered several episodes on quarrels
  But we always came back to be, just we
  It was a time for us to be, to dream who we could be

Everyday, wondering why I would leave
So irrational, inconceivable how lost I appeared to be
Thinking being just me, not we
I would carry on, just as free

  But I didn't know , you were meant for me
  It took too long too love you, to show you
  To share with you everything that I wanted from you
  And you wanted time to see

Could it be that we were there, us
No titles, no appropriations, we could've of
Just let it be
Why was I in such a rush, you at my side

  Its been two years
  Two days, two hours
  There are no more promises
  I have shattered every last one

There was a day
When you confessed
That you could have loved me

There was a time and a place
When you finally expressed
Everything that you thought of me

Your words finally unleashing
Feelings your heart was too afraid to tell
Wondering if I would take them in vain

You finally gave me a chance
To hear everything you had to say
Even if it was too late

There was a day
When you confessed
That you could have loved me

There was a time and a place
When you finally expressed
Everything that you thought of me

The experiment was done
So you let everything out
Because you wanted me to know...

How much you really did care
How there were hidden words
How much you really admired the ways that I loved you

There was a day
When you confessed
That you could have loved me

There was a time and a place
When you finally expressed
Everything that you thought of me

Ooh, how only if someone took their time with me
They would see what you saw in me
And I would be unafraid

There was a day
When you confessed
That you could have loved me

There was a time and a place
When you finally expressed
Everything that you thought of me

How I was caring, thoughtful, romantic
Unlike anyone one else, very loyal
How intelligent, supportive, and fearless

There was a day
When you confessed
That you could have loved me

There was a time and a place
When you finally expressed
Everything that you thought of me

That I could have made you complete
And know I think
That you could have made me complete

But I thank you for declaring everything to me
For making me realize
That love is meant to belong to me

Needed someone to love
someone to hold,
someone to fall for

Couldn't I have told
You, that I wasn't cold
Out of my mold
I could not crowl

Just a little bold
That's what I needed to be, lord
To confront the world

No treasure, silver or gold
Too young, I wasn't that old
To take consideration,
And of your love behold

The world distorting your peace
Your true self I could not uphold

Couldn't you have managed to hold
Hold onto me through madness and massacre

How could I have  believed
We had no enemies
When all I saw was war

Our chances were rigged
Our chances were not ours to deal
Our places were not opportune
Our cards were long fortold

We held onto the unattainable
We fell to the struggle from within

We were fighting hard to rebuild
What had already failed,
Thinking the helpless
Could reverse their inevitable fall

In the questions, desperation, and pondering
No catharsis, no purging, avails
All the true revelations are lost

Only un-resourceful quiescence stalls

How hidden, how high
How low we search without
Fear or nerve; enamored we scout

Not withstanding our falling out
Every impossibility we seek out positively

No scandals, no scoundrels
We're faced with yearning, grand dreaming; how lavishing

Pouring out every word, every feeling, every tear, every melody
Here theres no melancholy, only harmony

Counting every day, every hour, every minute
Listening to sweet musings
The chords are thundering

We've been lost, no longer wondering; we're hollering
Leaving the world swirling

How crazy we are, not suffocating
Blind, falling we're mindless faltering
But we're mindless just humming happily

How come your body of warmth
  Boulder of boldness and hope
    My limbs in vain, fold
      In and out of its hold

Smoothness and strength
  Making me hang stealthily below
    As the muscles in your arms
      More than tickle, grip, supporting my back

Frolicking, commanding every enclave
  Exploring this landscape with precise measure and expertise
    Cherishing every arch, every curve, every carving
      Like the greatest monument,
        You guard me against all elements

And every time you press this lips
  Cautioning against the unleashing of nirvana
    Tinkling with mere existence
      There's a launching of infinite catharsis

Even when this land becomes regimented and bound
  Enclosing every possible escape
    Encroaching, expelling the very efforts to liberate
      You pause in front and gaze into the power of my eyes
        Extracting every trace of repression and restraint

Canvasing, surveying the infinite value of this place
  The conqueror, the lord, the trustee of this land
    Has come to stop pondering the chase
      He's built the greatest monument, he never planned

By the time we die
You're gonna be tired,  asleep, and satisfied
My love will have made you sick
Because it was too intense

No stratosphere will keep us safe
I will become insane
As my feelings spiral out of control

You will have no option my dear
But to maintain an everlasting fever
Because my love,
Will warm you like the hottest arab sun

And every mistake I've scarred your heart with
My eternal dedication will erase
Every day of my life as I pronounce your perfection
This perception  will never change

Like a controversial revolutionary anthem,
The beat of my heart will pledge allegiance to you

And you'll have no where to escape
As the loud boom of my love drowns out our past
You will have no choice but to die with this love

You're gonna be tired,  asleep, and satisfied
Because my love will have made you sick
As it becomes volatile and intense

If the echoes in my head subside

When the train finally halts
And I look all around
Wonder if you will be there
Will my heart still yearn for you

My mind flying high in your sky
Will it ever stop
When it finally descends
Moving forward, but moving on?

Can we derail, decelerate the pace of a loving heart
Some weaker, semblance of fuel, my engine's funneling
Will I ever fly the same without your gravitational pull

When the train finally halts
And I look all around
Wonder if you will be there
Will my heart sill call your name

Dirt and debris hitting the surface
You were the cleanse keeping **** out
Will anyone else give me your wonderful phrases

Keeping me lighter like I would amount
Healing my wings, always keeping them fearless
I never knew I needed you to fly
Now I wonder if my heart can start
When your no longer there

Keeping my engine safe and strong for war
The new ware of my flight
Will it ever resemble the speed or freedom your sky gave
When I'm no longer holstered up by the tracks of your love
Will your traces really fade away

When the train finally halts
And I look all around
Wonder if you will be there
Will my hearts still holler your name

Will it hold on in vain
Even if I'm in my grave
Will it move on, see you, and manage
Knowing our love could be gone
