I miss the way we used to be. |
I drive alone The highway is vast The cars whiz by me I don't feel like going fast I have one hand on the wheel And I'm pressing my phone to my ear Listening to the many rings lead up to your voice message The only way I've been hearing your voice lately It's been quite a few days I can't take the time to count right now But they've gone painfully slow And the truth is I don't know if I can handle it when you come back I don't know if I can spend any more days Listening to you list the reasons we can't be together Because I see us in a fairytale inside of my head You gave me a preview of what it could be like with you And I can't get it out of my mind I just want it all the time I sat here days ago After speaking with you You left me aching And I wrote steady rhymes That came with great ease Words poured out of my fingertips While tears pour from my eyes And now, about one week later I feel the wall back up again And I'm numb I'm blocking the feelings and I'm trying not to But all the nights we spent together The longing feeling that I used to have Is just leveled out Into a dull burning But still I remember Driving so late at night Feeling like a hazy dream Felt so good, I didn't know if it was real The roads were empty It was just me With the lights on your street shining down I never heard any noises Just my own car door shutting As quietly as I could My own footsteps shuffling As fast as I could up your steps, through your door That you left unlocked just for me I'd see you there Not notice me come in I'd move across your floor and press my lips onto your skin I'd hope you wouldn't say a word Because there was nothing I needed to hear You were next to me and that was all I've ever needed I can't get anything out right. What is going on with me. |
