Another one without you
So they brand me
Scared of you
I guess they’ve been misinformed
Scared of you, yes.
I love you, yes.
Even on the days you stormed.
I didn’t know it then
Young, foolish. Just full of it,
I guess
I couldn’t, if I tried,
See the journey’s end
How my nos to you then would now turn to yes
Some things I thought would last forever
And other things too
But not you, I thought you had an end
To my shame I waited
Till that day would come
Not knowing that, with it, I’d bring my own end
Years you waited for me to grow
To see the man I’d become
I became that man
Now, I wait for you everywhere
With the hope to see what I couldn’t
Now, I can.
Now, years pass by and I wait
For you to walk through the door
Visit these illuminated places in my mind
But another day passes without a date
As I know it will be as it was before
If I can’t find you, who will I find?
It just had to be that way
Out of the shadow rises the figure
As I extend with a son of mine
As he and I push through the gray
We split apart as the world grows bigger
One day I leave him. I hope he remembers me like I remember mine.
