We court forever, like he’s tangible
Dancing close while he stands so still
Sweet words wasted on heedless ears
Our promises are futile, just like our tears.
We’re not afraid of what we don’t know,
Unaware of the strain mounting as we go.
Squander away this moment like the last,
And soon we find our days have passed.
I'll wake up one morning to the best day I’ve ever had,
The phone doesn’t ring, and I won’t be sad.
Don’t wait till you’re too far to hear me,
By then you won’t miss my voice because you won’t even know me.
