I can't wait for tomorrow

I'm stuck in yesterday

And today gets stuck in the mix

And I can't wait forever

In case you change your mind

This is something that time just can't fix



You're a dangling carrot

Without even trying

And I'm a hungry horse

Or a horse's ass for crying



Take a deep breath

Let my pillow absorb my tears

Shrug it off and say

"This wont mean anything in a few years"

~A few million years



I've memorized your eyes

And the creases in your lips

I drink you in slowly

In carefully measured sips



And it runs through my veins

Till it reaches my heart

Breathing in, breathing out

Is a good place to start



How'd you get passed the guard

You weren't even trying to get in

Follow your footprints back out

You'll get an idea where you've been



If the gates close behind you

Dont climb to the top

(I know you wont)

The walls were built high

Jumping over's quite a drop



If you look back don't wish

That you'd never stumbled in

Just know loves a cruel game

And no one ever wins
