Weave Our Lives

I can't focus on these pages that I'm reading Couldn't tell you if you asked me what they're meaning I'm distracted trying to circumvent the truth Distracted trying to keep my mind off you Turn the news on let's find out about the president No one knows quite what to think or what to do We're suspended in the air, suspended in time Hanging by a thread to weave our lives Waiting on a verdict to decide And you can tell me 'bout the war, you can tell me 'bout the bombs But you just can't seem to tell me what you want You can check my every fact, run it forward run it back I'm honest, even if I'm wrong Drive an hour just so I can see you, just to hear you voice without all the noise And I'm biting my nails, 'cause I know what you'll say But maybe this time, it'll set me free When the August sun set low in the sky, the nights became long November brought hope and December brought pain In the New Year, not a resolution made And you can put up your walls, say that I am the cause Of your heartache, if that's what you need You say "are you afraid?", I say "what's there to fear?" I'm right where I'm supposed to be Flowers wilted, sky in every shade but blue Nothing matters anymore, what's there to do? Forget the day of week, just pray I'll see it through And in my mind you'll be there lying next to me If not now, then in a while, or in my dreams Wouldn't it be easier up there? Where nobody and nothing every where? And you can tell me that you miss me, tell me that you want me But I just want you close to me at night You can tell me that you're sorry, tell me that you love me But words don't change the truth, I'm getting tired
