while we sat
and we waited
talking about nothing
too much to think about

                                                          ­         while we worried
                                                         ­          and we debated
                                                         ­          moving for nothing
                                                         ­          too tired to end our rest

it all fell apart
we watched
we felt but
we made no attempt to help

                                                           ­        our energy was gone
                                                            ­       we had determined we'd stay alone
                                                           ­        too exhausted from life
                                                            ­       to care that our world was falling

while we rode the tide
into oblivion
not changing course
or crying about anything

                                                       ­            while we felt our lives
                                                           ­        crumble before us
                                                              ­     not minding that it was over
                                                            ­       or seeking out refuge

we held hands
and shared one last kiss
for our love
was all we'd really miss
