Sometimes, my memories begin to blur It's usually when the world's spinning too fast, I'm tilting, And I hurl Because it blurs the lines in my mind that shape your face I rage against the miles growing, knowing distance seperates, Drowning into oceans, flowing In between the trust that dissipates I sigh, when I can't remember, each laugh line's particular grace My memories blur, and i grow sad When I can't recall your face I'll stare at my fingers, hoping they remember The feel of your bare skin, on which I traced The promises that you can't possibly remember I never spoke, instead I wrote In soft caresses between your shoulder blades I stayed awake for hours, just to watch you sleep To drink in each breath you slept out To memorize each curve of cheek And I remember the circles shadowing under my eyes But they didn't mean a thing I was in your arms, awake, almost every time Those were nights when I didn't need to dream Sometimes I cry, without knowing the reason No storm warning, nowhere to hide Outside my window, the skies spread blue But those are the days it rains inside I think I cry, because it seems That the miles are oceans, and the oceans in between Are drowning the memories, and fading the dreams That I never slept to feel, that I never felt would leave Yet it is all I hope for, Love I desperately still, and will, believe I have a secret in the form of a bag It's filled with the sea, and sometimes I get mad Because it reminds me of the beginning, Which never seemed like it would change Not that's it's worse, but the distance is so strange And the shells are inside, if I choose to recollect Sometimes I sing and they sing back Sometimes they're quiet with regret No matter what they say, though They always help me to reflect On the summer I fell in love, On a season I'll never forget I remember And how funny that I feel even stronger Despite heartbreak And the distance growing longer Obstacles were overcome, sacrifices were made We bid adieu to the defiant Fall Welcoming Spring as a break Now, my memory doesn't blur, but my eyes do The ocean in my eyes Dripping salt on my lips The tide is pushing my heart to you To you Love far away and blurring But never ceasing to exist |
