Time Lost

These days you wake up alone You're in a quiet room Maybe the bedframe's uneven Because you open your eyes Feeling the absence of something You can't quiet put your finger on You're too young to forget But you don't recall the unselfconscious thrill You once had about the future We used to tilt our chins up to the sun And through our bloody eyelids Say what we would do But you gave up Maybe it came in the dark one night While you lay alone under the covers Worrying about what your life would look like Ten years from now You didn't want to be scared anymore You didn't think you could do it alone You're looking for some finish line While your mind plays tricks on you We used to tilt our chins up to the sun And through our bloody eyelids Say what we would do But you gave up But then you gave up Please don't give up on me I don't want to give up
