Honestly, It's Fine

(album: Present Tense - 2022)

And honestly, it's fine, the way that you left it
And at first it was hard, with all we'd connected

Hate to say it but I need the brakes on
Waste another weekend making tough boys owe me
Peeling off my numbers from the asphalt
These faults could resolve in seeing

Some temporary time spent
Counting the hours
Waiting to see me through
No batting of an eyelid
Where does the time live?
I can't seem to shake it loose

And honestly, it's cool, but I need an answer
Was it just me and you, or was there another?

Hate to say it, but you need to stay back
Steal another scheme, you made my old one muddy
Looking like the devil with a fake tan
I'm here with my friends inviting

Some temporary time spent
Counting the hours
Waiting to see me through
No batting of an eyelid
Where does the time live?
I can't seem to shake it loose

And seasons don't change, if you're in outer space
(I'll leave it all to fate)
Reminds me of us, in a self-serving way
(The feelings start to fade)
My dealings won't change, when you're not here to stay
(I'll love you all the same)
It reminds me of home, but on a different day
(You're only...)

Some temporary time spent
Counting the hours
Waiting to see me through
No batting of an eyelid
Where does the time live?
I can't seem to shake it loose
