Too Much

July 23, 2006

Too much was said
To go back now
Not enough was said
To carry on anyhow

So we’ll let it rest once again
Like we did long ago
Two courageous passers by
With a secret that even they don’t know

There was something for each to learn
So study up
Take notes for when the real thing comes
When it first hit I was such a young one

Stars have been the tie
Between so many of my pairings
A whisper to the ear
Touch a lip to the earring

I’m gonna stop this train
At a stop that’s not on the map
Because it’s unnecessary torture
To this heart that so many have lapped

It’s a marathon
And sometimes I forget that
With the racers changing numbers
The faces remaining old hat

Some may say that it’s predestined
And follow the lines that have already been drawn
I now hear the beat of my own drum
That I believed would never come

I wouldn’t trade these misses for anything
Because they made me half a man
There were a few hits
Which leave me believing I can

It’s still too much so I’ll stay away
I can keep the meter running for awhile
There are strangers out there
Who might want to go the mile
