used to be time, well-spent
see your smile, all day.
i thought we'd meet up soon but
the time's just walking away.
used to be room to breathe
but now the minutes leave like days
i ask our time to stay but
all i get from the clock is a look away.
you're worried you're feeling wanted,
or worse.
tired of smiling at me, it hurts.
i wanna go
where you go
when you turn the other way
i wanna see the things i know i cannot see.
sharp objects in your eyes aiming for mine
i fall apart in there, under the gravity.
it could've been time, or space,
could've been time for space
but i can't tell you that when you
keep tossing and turning away.
the clock's stopped counting past today
all i get is your look away.
the world's falling after me.
there used to be intimacy, but now
it's all coming down on me
