Clouds & Skyscrapers

This Day and Age

To say
that apologies only come
when mistakes are made
is to say
that for the next three months
without hesitation she'll patiently wait

to watch the season slowly pass
without a breathe or a smile
is to love those same eyes
that focused on you for all this while

start over on monday
and everything will turn out
just the way she planned

to say
that clouds and skyscrapers
remind me of her
is to see
that something out of reach
can bring two people back together

to take the time to step back
and look into his past
is to search within himself
to see why nothing could ever last

I'm falling from the place
where I stood
won't someone take my hand
cause I don't understand.
