passing by

If, we lay here, maybe something else will pass by;

waving its hand with pity, if we wave back,

we'll be jealous.

don't wave at the flies that parasite your time like a dead corpse,

don't smash them,

lets just not wave at anything,

if we're just laying here.

If, you forgot to tell her she's beautiful;

don't remember you didn't tell her, she never even new you wanted to say it, she doesn't know you're going to say it,

but if she looks into your eyes, just how you look at her,

will blow her mind,

just as long,

as you don't wave at those flies.

If, someone is having a better time than you,

someone is having it worst,

and you,

that sits between good and bad,

just nags, regrets, pull yourself back to your chair,

not the one behind you,

the one beneath you,

sit on top the if,

don't let him sit on top of you.

remember the present, is something you can't

don't wait for it to become past,

so you dare peek.
