Thought I’d write a sad song
It ran a bit too long
I think she noticed it
Lingering in question
we align
Her eyes sing out a hundred strong
I’ve seen it all along
Somehow I go with it
Though I get the impression
it’s by design

I know she’s holding her breath until
it’s all over
She’s lying next to me
And she’s already gone

Thought I had a bad dream
Work up the perfect scheme
Wash off the evidence
Suddenly my fears
all multiply
Balanced on a wet beam
More than her self-esteem
These are no accidents
And now it’s volunteer
or run and hide

I know I’m holding my breath until
it’s all over
She’s lying next to me
And I’m already gone

She’s on the run like there ain’t no finish line
I’m hanging on trying to buy myself some time
I dig in deeper
She plugs her ears as we blow ourselves apart
I’ll still deny what I’ve known right from the start
I can’t keep her

I know she’s holding her breath until it’s all over
She’s lying next to me
And I’m losing control
I know she’s holding her breath until I take cover
She’s lying next to me
and I’m already gone
Next to me
And she’s already gone.
