CAN'T YOU SEE?
(1.16.22)
We were riding far along enough to know each other's names
You breathed in the heavy air and I breathed in the pain
Your mind was on a song to choose and mine was still on you
I stare when you weren't looking and it left me overdue
Can't you see, through every goodbye
I could sit by the window watching paint dry?
Lying on my bedroom floor, waiting for time to die
Can't you see, through every hello
Could you scream me into space just to never let me go?
Holding back the things you think I won't want to know
Is that enough for you? Is that enough?
Young and dumb, not much has changed
And we didn't know much better
I still flash back to the very first time
You ever lent me your sweater
You looked me in the eyes and your stare left a bruise
As I understood, finally, I had something to lose
September left us achine, so I hate it brought me you
Because October should've been healing but it couldn't be with you
November drove me off a cliff, I thoguht I'd be alone
But December was my recurring dream, and I won't let you go
Can't you see, through every goodbye
I could linger in the air, drawing pictures in the sky
Dying on my bedroom floor, waiting for time to lie
Can't you see, through every hello
I will scream you into space but I'll never let you go
I can build a fire while you tell me what made you so cold
Is that enough for you? It's not enough
