Lost Time

Original

The sky is gray, the trees are pink

It's almost spring, and I can't wait and I can't think

The sidewalk's paved with petals like a wedding aisle

I wonder how long it would take to walk 800 miles

To say, "I do, I did, I will, I would"

"I'm not sorry, not certain, not perfect, not good"

But I love you, and every day

That I knew and didn't say is lost time

Now I'm knocking down your door

'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time

Wish you were here, wish I was there

I wish that we could have a place that we could share

Not only stolen moments in abandoned halls

Quiet touch in elevators and bathroom stalls

But I will, I would, I did, I do

For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you

'Cause I love you, and every day

That I knew and didn't say is lost time

Now I'm knocking down your door

'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time

Nothing lasts forever but let's see how far we get

So when it comes my turn to lose you, I'll have made the most of it

Our formal attire on the floor, in a pile

In the morning I will fold it while you get ready for work

I hear you singing in the shower

It's a song I showed you years ago

It's nice to know you listen to it after all this time

I put your clothes on the dresser with your 60-Day chip

And your broken gold chain, your unpaid parking ticket

I notice everything about you, I can't help it

It's not a choice, it's been this way since we met

'Cause I love you, and every day

That I knew and didn't say

Is a crying shame

It's a crime

A waste of space

Lost time
