Reconnaissance One Week Short Of A Lifetime
No need to Stick it out and wait till there is no life left
Just take the time to appreciate what was there
With no regret, try to forget
A rapid one-year experience of first love's first walk on the moon
A sky no limitation to consume meaning and depth behind
An ordinary smile or tear or grin that once had sucked me in
It's not an instant, now a moment, Just to turn your head and walk away
This is the point in time to make a change & see the sun rise on another day
Just turn your head and walk away
It was today You hit the fire door and set an alarm off to stop the blaze
There's only one direction to escape the burning flames
With heart's lost keys, please depart
Now right back where you started only twelve months ago
358 reasons to leave a ruined building that will soon just keel over
To the ground, you're left out here to stand up on your own two feet again
“So Here I am” Ready to face the traffic of LA on a Friday afternoon
You could shuffle along the sidewalk and move faster
But what's the point, there is no rush, There is no…
“Say to me, What you really mean.”
She said “Don't hide behind your naked skin
I can see through you, outside to in
Come out now! Speak your mind.”
“Well,” You say, “I guess now's the time.”
“I was blind and now you'll be left behind
I'll be free to do what I please, I won't bend down on my knees
To be taken advantage of by you.”
No need to Stick it out, oh no, Wait till there is no life left
Just take the time to appreciate what was there
With no regret, try to forget
It's now an instant, not a moment Just to turn your head and walk away
This is a point in time to make a change & see the sun rise on another day
Just Turn your head and walk away
It was today
