I never saw it coming
I thought we were in that place together
I knew I’d finally found something
But being with someone who is lost themselves
Is living between perfection and thinking it all might end

I just want to live for a little while
It seems you’re more concerned with dying
If it’s all in God’s hands then what’s left in ours?
I’m watching you live for a future that may never arrive
You’re thinking about how you might you lose another friend

You picked out a flat earth for yourself
You don’t like shadows or horizons
Wherever the sun goes at night
You just invent another one

I never saw it going
But you were just passing through
I felt like a coffee shop on the corner
I made you relax but you longed for more
I said it’s alright you’re still going where I’ve already been

You picked out a small garden for yourself
But you don’t like fences or thorns
Whatever flies away in the wind
Plants itself where love refuses to be born
