Wade

(album: Sling - 2021)

Holding out all my fears and faults
Those that conquer me
Started the second pack
Before the first ones finishing

I like to bridge the gap between
A break and long lost lovers
Only to get me by until I decide
I've had enough

Most of the time
I can feel them on me
The eyes from the stranger's window
It's dark and It's lonely
But it's nothing to me
At least somebody's home

Decades are wasting
On your name
You'll grasp the concept of life
When you give up the point of trying
If you don't do the things you do
They'll just happen to you

Pulling out all my weight
And do my part and you'll say
"Oh I'm so glad you're here with us today
You probably thought you would be gone"
And until there's another way
I just have to face
That there's no real place
To go where I really could be alone

I'd promise you now, that if I had known
I wouldn't be standing here
There's memories to be made
And water that's to wade
I used it all up drying tears

Of course I don't regret
The moments where I wept
And yearned for what I've got now
It's only time
It won't age like wine
But It's mine, and I'll take the blow
