it's midnight here and time feels frozen and i wonder if it really were and i were to walk through borders and stop signs past silent horns and stilled traffic lights
windshield wipers caught mid slash and music stopped in every father's daughter's minivan and desperate drivers with tired eyes suspended in lives that i will never understand it's been three months since i last touched your hand you are a thirty minute hourglass and i'm exhausted sand you are a thirty minute hourglass and i'm exhausted sand you are a thirty minute hourglass and i'm exhausted
"it's not too bad" that's just what you'll say and your voicemail sounds so far away well that's too bad always scared that you're okay it's not hard to say "i'll keep you safe" when you've never had to save the day it's not that i think that you're to blame i just think the shots have changed
