tonight's attitudes all seem to fit the occasion
most occasions are plain
but now you have a well designed attack
by dividing what you say with your eyes
with what you say
in the end we know there will be no words
to indicate who we were tonight
how love hurts to see you go
and hangs onto my heart
while you're still here
reluctantly letting memory burn
and reluctantly allowing even a modest pulse through
first we'll suffer real despair
then a willing decline
down to where we're darkest
but we both know certain things

it could all be inevitable
or just that some things fail at first attempts
but attempts are never final
there are only final results in economy
and final results in waste
and final results in patience
and final results in work
the rest is unknown

i've never aimed at the future
or tried to evoke truth or direction out of what i had
but now i know there will be distance
i wonder, what can that mean
'there will be distance'
and is it cold there?
is it chronic?
or will anxiety have some role?
and will they all need introductions?
distance, meet anxiety
anxiety, meet the cold

the thing is still that you will be gone
and i will have to leave the lights on
so you can see to go

/

wonder what that could mean
there will be distance
distance meet anxiety
anxiety meet the cold
anxiety meet the cold
the thing is still you will be gone
and i'll have to leave the lights on
so you can see to go
