Song About a Song

Today everything I see seems to say

Forget you not the time you went away

All the fluttering plans you made that didn't fly

And the half-baked dreams you had that didn't rise

Reflecting back on me through my tired eyes

And I overhear the wind whispering by

It's singing our song, out of time

The lyrics still uncover what I hide

Oh, I'm two steps in reverse with every line

And by the end of this verse

You'll still be mine, still be mine

'Cause I still hear our song some times

Still lose myself inside old lines

And I still play it to death at times

There is comfort in old lines

And I know

I tend to focus to much on the past

Glorify the things that do not last

'Cause I can filter out how we behaved

All the lies we told the reason why we caved

This melody makes all that go away

Oh I'm two steps in reverse and we're okay

And by the end of this verse

We'll still be fine, still be fine

But don't call me up to choose me as your crutch

You may not realise, you're asking too much of me

Even one touch of your hand on my arm

Sends me five steps behind

Humming our song 'gainst the storm

And just because I may hear our song sometimes

Still lose my head inside its lines

And I still miss you, to death at times

I still forget how to sing it

I've run out of lines

And by the end of this song

If I can finish this song

We're out of time

Out of time
