I, You, We, Love

December 4, 2006

I asked you for the time, you looked at your wrist
I said come with me, you said you would be missed
Something was missing alright, it was your heart
We could try it all over, we’d never find the start

You asked me to be understanding, I stood by
You said wait for me, I said I might die
Something died alright, it was my fire
We could bring it back to life, we don’t have the desire

We asked for more, we gave less and less
We said I love you, we said it was a mess
Something was a mess alright, it was us
I could straighten up, if you could stop being unjust

Love asked for our souls, we questioned the cost
Love said loosen your grip, we said it might get lost
Something was lost alright, it was the meaning
Ways parted, on unanswered questions we remain leaning
