Cherish You

You came in my life in a regular fashion
Something similar to routine breathing
Just far less repetitive
I won't see what comes from all of this
Since we both claim we're over it

I took it as closure I needed nothing
But found something that drew me in
Opened up to the idea of you
You're not the ghost you turned into

I planted seeds and waited to grow old
You came around and uprooted me, oh
I grew into you with immediacy
There wasn't honesty I'd never know
You traced over what was already there
And like a ghost, you fade away

The history between you and me
Is both not enough and far too much for me
If I could have said the song for you
I would have
But it wasn't enough from here in my hospital bed

I planted seeds and waited to grow old
You came around and uprooted me, oh
I grew into you with immediacy
There wasn't honesty I'd never know
You traced over what was already there
And like a ghost, you fade away

So take it back and leave me on my own again
Do you remember watching the sun rise and set?
The feelings that we spoke of like a delicacy and I
I was second best in many things
You were used to getting your way
We met at a crossroad I'll never see again
And I'm a river away where we first met
I'll never forget, not for a second

I planted seeds and waited to grow old
You came around and uprooted me, oh
I grew into you with immediacy
There wasn't honesty I'd never know
You traced over what was already there
And like a ghost, I'll cherish you
