A Lifetime In A Week

A Lifetime In A Week

Well the streets can't get much darker

As I step into my car

driving east

I'm trying to calm myself until I know where you are

Cause my mind makes up excuses

or you say that's what I do

because it's taken me too long to know

It's time I need with you

And this is the last time

I look before I leap

I confess, I'm a mess when you leave

why'd you leave?

And these days pass

but I still haven't slept at all

And I'm terrified to call

You can't forget me.

We promised not to change but then we grew up

but not too fast.

We lived a lifetime in a week before you left

but I'm still stuck here

and all I have left

are those nights in your bed

with my hand slipping further up your dress

then you stopped me

but it's cute because you do it so smooth

And I seem to recall several nights spent

In the back of your car

you said, 'I want you to know

my body's burning for yours'

or those days spent drinking

with nothing to do

except get lost in the moment

as I slowly undress you.

And I'll pretend that you're here

and you're not gone.

It's not the end if you were here

and you're not gone
