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.
