I haven’t been through these things since I acquired all these memories and lately, they’ve been coming back to me would you mind if I called you and I assumed you were at home too would you mind if we walked through and I told you everything I’ve seen or have you forgotten about me would you mind if I missed you it’s been so long would you mind if I missed you all this time you’ve been gone we set out when the morning came to take us to a familiar place and oh I, I’ll forget these days to soon but I won’t forget about you would you mind if I missed you it’s been so long would you mind if I missed you all this time you’ve been gone We’ll breathe regardless of if we’re off key and we’ll breathe would you mind if I called you and I assumed you were at home too would you mind if we walked through and I told you everything I’ve seen or have you forgotten about me would you mind if I missed you it’s been so long would you mind if I missed you all this time you’ve been gone We’ll breathe regardless of if we’re off key and we’ll breathe

This Week 06:30
Here we are again unsure and impatient, again I know you’ve been without, how? I know I’ve been without for a year now if you could hold on to anything if you could breathe one thing from here on out Here we are again unsure and impatient, but we’re just friends I know you’ve been without, how? I know I’ve been without for a year now if you could hold on to anything if you could breathe one thing from here on out Here we are again unsure and it’s hurting you and here we are again unsure and impatient, my friend for the third time this week I made you believe for the third time this week I made you believe I’m unsure and it’s hurting you Here we are again unsure and impatient I know you’ve been without I won’t be the one you write about

(I love you) Could I say something (I need you) I think it would be wrong if this means anything to you it’s been so many days and I’ve been glad to watch things change and I’m glad we’re at what once was far away but I’m sick of hate and I’m still standing in the same place (I love you) Could I say something (I need you) why did you treat him wrong if he means everything to you (I need you) (I love you) it’s been so long ago it’s been two winters but still we remain cold and I know I’m being bitter to the story told I took one and I through twelve away that year was a sharp searing pain (I love you) Could I say something (I need you) would it be so wrong if this mean anything to you (I love you) (I need you to see this through)

it was to it was to soon I hope your around (like a fly on the wall) while I'm making an ass of myself then you won’t feel any sadness if I walked with someone else I want to thank you but I don’t want to lead you on and I’m sorry I barely met you but you say that you love me secret lover I’m bound to another one I want to thank you but I don’t want to lead you on and I’m sorry I barely met you but you say that you love me I must say that I feel close to you cause I’ve always been in your shoes is there something that I don’t see or has someone switched places with me but I can’t budge and I’m sorry secret lover I’m bound to another one

Careless so careless are the words you choose and strong enough to leave me at a loss of what to say words can’t express this sinking and I wish that I could lift myself away I’m so far I’m waiting too We’re climbing to our summit stuck upon a landing I feel we’re getting closer so close that I could cry I’m waiting I… I’m so far I’m waiting too open your eyes please I’m so far I’m waiting too we’re so far we’re waiting we’re so far now I will wait with you Lyrics by: Robin Quinne and Rob Scallon

And it was an autumn night and us meeting was as random as how we’re alive and you shouted to me (in curiosity) and I responded with exactly the same thing and those days were so short so sweet and I never explained how much they got to me and our kiss by the lake made it my favorite place but now that moment is gone with every other passing one and is it sad that I still look back to that and it hurts so bad to see that that’s gone and your gone from me I can see that you don’t remember anything we said and I hope you can forgive me because I still remember everything everything and I drifted away but I floated back cause I forgot about everything I had and I know your so sick, so sick of hearing this but I’m sorry is this ok, I’m sick of being vague and you took me for every mistake I’ve made and I remember you say you made the same mistake but now that moment is gone with every other passing one and is it sad that I still look back to that and it hurts so bad to see that that’s gone and your gone from me I can see that you don’t remember anything we said and I hope you can forgive me because I still remember everything everything and oh, you’ll go away I can see that you don’t remember anything we said and I hope you can forgive me cause I still remember everything everything

Waiting 05:50
Do you remember everything we said last night have our brains only managed to store a few lines what we do right now is soon a memory how long will it be until we don’t remember anything yesterday was once a thousand years from now and our Friday is only seconds away from now and on Saturday, I’ll be gone and on Saturday, we’ll be gone cause if we leave and go expectedly if we go away I won’t be waiting yesterday was once a thousand years from now cause if we leave and go expectedly if we go away I won’t be waiting things will change but I’d like a few to stay the same and even if the rest all quite the thought of you should not be nostalgic existence is only an instance and I’m not waiting existence is only an instance and I’m not waiting (anymore) cause if we leave and go expectedly if we go away I won’t be waiting
