Well I guess I threw away a year or two
We all misplace a few
The trick is not letting it ruin your day
Then the cycle continues
I'm scared to say it but I'll ask you
Is this the time we alluded to
We said we stick it out through the hard part
Well is that what that meant to you
While my body waited for my mind to get better
You were patient as the moon
When I left to stay at my father's
Our bed felt like an empty tomb
I've been relishing the freedom
That all things can fall away
There's no such thing as achievement
You just enjoy the running in place
But I could always find a reason
To start to worry and complain
There's no such thing as convenience
It's just a tolerance of pain
I could never tell you what's wrong
But you knew how to make it right
Yeah depression came with laughter
When I had you by my side
It feels like light hitting an opal rock
Like knowing how to dance
And it came so free and easily
Never bottled or enhanced
So if you go your way
And I go mine
We'll both walk down the road
In parallel lines
Our shoelaces tied
My left to your right
Walking the dog
His leash pulling us tight
But your watch's ticking
Has been getting louder every hour
Biological clock completely stopped
And you have no idea the time
Well you ask a friend and they say 10 AM
But it's pitch black outside
Well even broken clocks align
For a moment they're on time
If you look me in the eye I'll believe you
If you say you're satisfied
But complacency deceives you
You don't know till you die
If on your death bed you decide
That the memories I provide
Will give worth to you
And your only life
