The Passage of Time

I'm sorry I wasn't everything I wanted to be

I'll make you breakfast any day of the week

Thank you for teaching me that I don't have to be a try-hard

Thank you for taking me in, for driving me over the bridge

I said that I was done

But I barely knew what it was

And everything that'll come

Between us will fade like the passage of time

I'll love you for a lifetime that never truly stops

We're just bodies that float in the ocean

Together, apart

Together, apart

Like the trophy wives of ancient times

I'll hold you up and count my blessings

Said I was done

But I barely knew what it was

And everything that'll come

Between us will fade like the passage of time

There are people dancing in the street for you

Your head works in mysterious ways

There are gossamer strings round your fingers

Watching your face turn into midnight

I only like you when the stars align

The pleasure is all mine

Watching the bubbles rise

Like rain in the summertime

I wanna love you like

The trains don't wait for no one

Careless and certain

I'm feeling calm

Washing over my body

And filling my palms

I'm scrawled in a notebook

Of parallel lines

And I know that you're there

And I wanna cry

I said I was done

But I barely knew what it was

And everything that'll come

Between us will fade like the passage of time
