Lost Time (Extended)

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 eight hundred 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 the 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
And the photo that you framed from when you were a kid
To remember where you came from as if you could forget

And your hand me down pickup, hula girl on the dash
Tape on the bumper, more than one crash
And it’s always an accident and it could always be worse
Scars healing over, but the memory hurts
And I trace them with my finger, touch them with my mouth
Then the lines around your eyes, the furrow in your brow
Your face is a language, I'm fluent by now
You can tell me the whole story without saying it out loud
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
