It could have been forever
If not for foolish things
To play the obstacles
And now we both are building up this wall
And it falls between us
Like the lines we refuse to read
And it’ll fall around us
Crashing on the shores of our
Beliefs
We build it up again
All because we can’t face
The things that push us out
Of place
We are both to blame
For all that we cry for
If we cry at all
What can save us now
To sacrifice what little
Dignity remains
Push against it just to feel the grain
To make sure it’s real this time
Not just the heat of the
Moment, if you don’t mind
I don’t want to be burned by
Your fire
But it feels so cool
I’d like to burst the blister
It’s such a pretty pattern
If you can see it
Trace the lines upon my face
Count the wrinkles round
My eyes when I smile
I’d hate to think this feeling
Is you, and you alone
I’d hate to think I can’t
Feel this way without you
If only we would stop
Building what fell between us
Then maybe it could be forever
