Sapling

I remember way back when

I felt only ennui

Like nothing could complete me

No promise of a rising sun

Illuminating everyone

The very thought defeated

My life was a blinded light

Must be what it's like when worlds collide

Especially when he sees her

Pretty soon he'll tease her

I was on the road too long

Not one of them a keeper

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough

Am I strong enough

I once built a bower I could build you a home

Together forever but forever and on

Is still not long enough still not long enough

You look confused in your eyes

And I could see myself as a child

Such a devastating feeling

I wished I could go back in time

But all I could do was apologize

Right then your eyes were healing

Healing

Oh if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough

Am I strong enough

I once built a bower I could build you a home

Together forever but forever and on

Is still not long enough still not long enough

Oh I've been Cain but I wanna be Abel

Been a drunken fool but I wanted to be stable enough

To lay every one of my cards on the table

Hope it's not too late for us to find a way to

If I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough

Am I strong enough

I once built a bower I could build you a home

Together forever but forever and on

Is still not long enough it's still not long enough

I will look get inside myself for a home

Find only a sapling in search of an oak

Better to start my love oh it's a start my love

But am I strong enough
