You had me by the hands and you pulled me closer
So I could feel you crying.
Lost for words I pulled away
And I kept on driving.
"There's nothing wrong", I said. For a couple days.
You suspected something.
We laid there beneath the sheets on the same bed
but I kept my distance.
We both had been through the same mess
But you came out lonelier
Than I did cause there's no room
For despondence in my calendar.
You stocked up on splinters when I pulled mine out.
I'll take advantage of my chances before they run out.
We're not like trees. We can't wait till spring
To grow some brand new leaves.

I'll take advantage of my chances before they run out.
We're not like trees. We can't wait till spring
To grow some brand new leaves.
