Vanishing Points

Turned around and you were gone again

Countdown to a start that never ends

And though I lose track of the distance and the time

Know that we’re just 2 converging lines

The angles and equations wouldn’t work

Zeros carried further than they’re worth

And though your maths is so much worse than even mine

Know that we’re just 2 converging lines

And it might be

Over in a heartbeat

And it’s maybe...just

Inconvenient geography

But at these degrees

There’s a point that’s vanishing

So I’ll keep

Holding on

Though our hearts get stretched

They won’t come undone

So for you

While I’m gone

There’s an outstretched hand

And open palm

Ohhhhh

Ohhhhh

Suddenly again and it’s September

Summer slipped away without a glimmer

Seasons still surprise despite the lines around my eyes

Everyone I know is getting older

And it might be

Over in a heartbeat

And it’s maybe...just

Someone else’s ending

Cos I know that really

I’m the point that’s vanishing

But I’ll keep

Holding on

Though the words run dry on every song

But for you

When I’m gone

There’s an outstretched hand

And an open palm
