Pelican Pen

I need to talk this out but I can't trust anyone
This is something I wish I could run away from
It keeps coming back and staring me in the face
This isn't something from which I can be saved
Start forming the words erasing what I might say
I can't leave a trace

Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
I no longer make decisions based on my own self-interest
Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
I no longer make decisions based on my own self-interest
If I push it out, maybe it'll fall away
And I won't have to worry
But that's never how this will resolve

In seven years you’ve washed away serenity
I never thought that you’d pull the rug out from under me
You can’t find your footing or a way to resolve
But if you don’t find your way, then take me down in your fall
We never got to see our stars align
We lost the time
But I made a choice and I own it as mine

Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
I no longer make decisions based on my own self-interest
Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
I no longer make decisions based on my own self-interest
If I push it out, maybe it'll fall away
And I won't have to worry
But that's never how this will resolve

Maybe I’ll see you breathing out the city skyline
Your hands blue like winter and your face red as fall
Maybe I’ll wake up in a different year, a different time
I’ll wait for the summer but in spring you’ll be gone
Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
It’s time to go, I’ll take you home
Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
It’s time to go, I’ll take you home

Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
It’s time to go, I’ll take you home
Do I think this wrong because you think it is?
It’s time to go, I’ll take you home
If I push it out, maybe it'll fall away
And I won't have to worry
But that's never how this will resolve
