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
