Alana Henderson Song About A Song
Today everything I see seems to say
Forget you not the time you went away
All the fluttering plans you made that didn't fly
And the half-baked dreams you had that didn't rise
Reflecting back on me through my tired eyes
And I overhear the wind whispering by
It's singing our song out of time
The lyrics still uncover what I hide
Oh I'm two steps in reverse with every line
And by the end of this verse…
You'll still be mine, still be mine…
'Cause I still hear our song sometimes
Still lose my head inside its lines
And I still play it to death at times
There is comfort in old lines old lines
And I know I tend to focus too much on the past
Glorify the things that do not last
But I can filter out how we behaved
All the lies we told the reason why we caved
This melody makes all that go away
Oh I'm two steps in reverse and we're okay
And by the end of this verse…
We'll still be fine… still be fine…
But don't call me up to choose me as your crutch
You may not realise you're asking too much of me
Even one touch of your hand on my arm
Sends me five steps behind
Humming our song 'gainst the storm
And just because I may hear our song sometimes
May lose my head inside its lines
And I might miss you to death at times
I still forget how to sing it
I've run out of lines
And by the end of this song…
If I can finish this song…
We're out of time…
Out of time
