5:04 AM

They say timing is everything.
I suppose that's why
Us having something
Feels like it will end up as nothing at all.
They say you have to walk before you crawl.
We've been sprinting since we met,
And neither of us is tired yet.
The whirlwind has swept away the cobwebs,
Dashed away any doubts,
And made us dizzy with delight.
Texts sent upon awaking,
And we fall asleep on the phone at night.
Why am I left with the feeling
That it's all just too right?
They say if it's too good to be true...
Well, you know the rest.
Why second-guess the best?
You make all others seem like second-best.
My heart beats so rapidly around you,
Folks would still hear it if I had a second chest.
The time we spend together is amazing;
Our time apart is an exercise in patience.
I just always want to be with you,
Basking in this infatuation.
I love how you incite my imagination.
..but I hate the occasional bouts of trepidation.
Wondering when the high will end,
When reality will snap back into place.
I just know the Hands of Time
Are ready to slap us across the face.
We're both young,
With so many places to go.
While the fire is strong between us,
There just isn't a stable place for it to grow.
That's why we continue to fall.
Convinced we can have it all,
When we can't even reach solid ground.
It won't be easy when we finally do come down,
We'll just have to deal when that time comes around.
I know they say timing is everything.
I suppose that's why
Us having something
Feels like it's better than nothing at all.
Time may run out on us, but at least we started our clock.
In a time of lackadaisical effort, we've given it all we've got.
No matter the ending, we had quite a run.
You'll always be special, even when it's said and done.
