could it be that I misunderstood?
I thought we were on the same side
now we've turned against each other
as if we don't know what we're doing
I once asked 'Are we disappearing?'
but I never thought it could be true
have the days of our future passed?
to be ignored is to be put down
and you can't tell me how I should feel
oh, these minutes pass like days with no sun
as I sift through mental letters-
letters I've written, never meaning to send
recalling speeches I've swallowed
and thoughts I could never say aloud-
I wished for perfection from you and myself
I guess my expectations were too high
though I thought my standards were too low
oh, this night is never-ending torture
wondering what you're thinking about me
is your classical music blaring too?
today was another of those Tuesday afternoons
you know Tuesdays aren't the time for seriousness
so I suppose I'll just leave it here-
I adore you, my friend, no matter where you are
or who you're in the company of
