The Wrong and Only Way

It's a wash, Christine, if you're not coming

On this final day when I've willed you here

But you must be taking the long way around

Did you find the wrong and only way

"Do you hear yourself?" you used to ask me

"Do you misunderstand what it means to be free

Well, I've been free for a long while now

And it feels the lost and lonely way

But I don't wanna keep you up and quiver

I don't wanna keep you up

I hope you're free, and you feel it

You don't despise yourself as years shrink

You're done with fear, your head is clear

And you will forgive yourself

Even if you don't forgive me

It's a wash, Christine, if you're not coming

On this final day when I've willed you here

But you must be taking the long way around

Did you find the wrong and only way

But I don't wanna keep you up and shiver

I don't wanna make you up

I hope you're free, and you feel it

You don't despise yourself as years shrink

You're done with fear, your head is clear

And you forgive yourself

Even if you can't forgive me
