Do You

Do you lie awake at night with burning pains inside your palms?
Do you wonder why I look at you like my storm has become calm?
Do you ever think about me as her body heats your hands?
And sidle up to her wondering if it made you a better man?
Do you feel the need to be closer than you've ever been before?
So she won't grow suspicious as you're rigid by the door?
Knowing what you've done to me, how you led me to the floor?
The pounding through your scattered head of one, two three, four...

One, two, three, four - chances that she gives you.
She knows how cold your body's been, and the romance that you conform to.
You curl your arms around her as the minute meets the hour,
Your logic screams you must stay here, but do you still feel so empowered?

Do you feel my shaking fingers as they spread across your back?
Like the eagles wing, or butterflies, or something beautiful like that.
Do your hands relive my placid skin, blanched against the black?
Did you really want to take my hand, or were your nerves were just truely wracked?
From standing by my side, the silence grasping onto air
I feel the change in every year, and I feel it's never fair
That I know it's of no worth, 'cause someone else is always there
And the knowledge you are with her now, is far too much to bear

Turn, two, three four - changes that we've lived through.
Seems like a rainbow without rain or shine, but darlin', what can I do?
You curl your arms around me as the minute meets a quarter
What you thinkin' of? Your daughter? How each second is shorter?

I held those fingers tightly that you're twisting through her hair,
And she holds your shoulder playfully, so dreadfully unaware
That we saw something in your eyes, we saw it, we could swear
We know we saw it, but can't define, have you something to declare?

And are you disappointed when I'm not there, and you're getting out your car?
Though the miles are quickly travelled, has it never seemed so far?
