a city on fire
a city in ice
i fooled you once
and you fooled me twice
but i let you do a lot of things
back in those days
is it best to leave
or to stay where you are
leave the keys in the mailbox
and get in the car
there’s nowhere to be
with the urge to know
something that can't be known
what difference would it make
to sail across a frozen lake
to see the other side
of a mountain of pain
no use crying over rain
it falls all the same
he never calls
but you never write
you don't have to make love
you don't have to fight
was it real
did you feel it too
or was that something else
that i did for you?
what could i have done
to keep a bullet in a gun
to play a game that can't be won
is losing all the same
no point asking you to stay
you’ll leave either way
difficult to like or love
to have to hold the door all night
the door all night
spring is green
and winter is blue
i can see now what its done to you
to be so much like a season
to never have a reason to stay
you are the sea
and i am a river
at times i am the taker
and other times the giver
for what i am remembered
i will also be forgotten
sometimes i do this listening
and other times the talking
in what you are lost
is where you’ll be found
