Symmetry

I stayed awake just long enough to see you

Remember Winnipeg?

And feeling simpler back then?

I took a week off from my band and flew out

It was a Saturday

I saw you waiting by the plane

I was always in a way just a long shot

I was never in the clear of that

I am lucky just to be a potential

But I will always make a mess of that

I traded symmetry for everything I loved

I took my feelings out and I had told you I was done

I know your mistakes, does it bother you

that I found where they stay?

Can I reach you yet?

I stood up so fast

And I let you down, it was the first time

that I heard that sound

It filled my head with the darkest shade of black

And I met you there

I realized then that I was just a little sad

And I left you there

I was always in a way just a long shot

I was never in the clear of that

I am lucky just to be a potential

But I will always make a mess of that
