in the time delay
can i follow the way
that delivers us both
to what we want most
or at the very least
wanted at some point

is it still true
what the past has held
it was gone at one point
but it came right back
can we do it again
get through the problems we have
myself always wanting
you always dreaming
me always fucking up
you holding on to something

do you know that i want you
no matter what i may say or do
I'm always finding may way back to you
from time to time
my eyes may stray
but you're the only one I'm ever with
every single second of the day
words come through all too many
some for you and some for others
some aloud and some through covers
if you knew what i will do
just to be back with you
you would see through
my far too many mistakes

I'd kill and spill
run for miles
fly around the world
I'd bribe and bet
cry and fret
if only to see you once
in my heart, i repent
but god no longer hears my calls
I'd regress to a boy
use the world as a toy
and carve myself a canoe
to get down the river
just within a sliver
of the rocky shore
as you wade into the water
on a hot summer day
watching your sun kissed,
mocha skin
that is the greatest sin
in that perfection of a frame
by which i want to be tamed
