she's rising

and i'm sinking

i'm losing sleep

she's resting

sound in bed with such variety

i'm driving

and she's finding

that she'll survive

when i'm long gone

do i stay in your mind at least?

there's so much time

and nowhere left to go

she's overcompensating

for what she can never let go of

there's so much time

and nowhere left to go

am i just an escape

for time to pass through

she's lying

and i'm thinking

she's trying to forget it all

a memory of the past i'll be

i'm buying

that she's trying

the threat is clear

and growing strong

i dream to have such clarity

it's all i'm thinking about

i guess i'll figure it out

i'll think

i'll drink to each new lesson

ignore the passing of days

eventually i'll fade

and in the end

it's just a lesson
