Longevity
Leaves the room walking,
On her own,
Tied to no-one here,
As far as I can see
She’s free
But not for me
Though we talk,
She doesn’t know my name,
No subtext interest in,
Playing this game with me tonight
She’s too stoned to see it anyway
Any look between us is lost to short term memory
She waves to those she knows
And though I think of her everyday
She doesn’t even look my way
Maybe that’s as far as it will ever go
I may be high, but I’ll remember,
Every word she says and every look she makes
But it’s not working both ways
Our conversations seem to have a complete lack of longevity
She waves to those she knows
And though I think of her everyday
She doesn’t even look my way
Maybe that’s as far as it will ever go
Still inside I can’t escape,
Feeling like I’ve missed something
Maybe there was a sign,
Maybe I’m just blind to what’s in front of me
Now I must admit defeat
I shouldn’t entertain,
This hope any longer
This path only leads to something stronger
That will never be returned
She waves to those she knows
And though I think of her everyday
She doesn’t even look my way
Maybe that’s as far as it will ever go
Maybe that’s as far as it will ever go
