The Passage of Time

I'm sorry I wasn't everything I wanted to be
I'll make you breakfast any day of the week
Thank you for teaching me that I don't have to be a try-hard
Thank you for taking me in, for driving me over the bridge

I said that I was done
But I barely knew what it was
And everything that'll come
Between us will fade like the passage of time

I'll love you for a lifetime that never truly stops
We're just bodies that float in the ocean
Together, apart
Together, apart
Like the trophy wives of ancient times
I'll hold you up and count my blessings

Said I was done
But I barely knew what it was
And everything that'll come
Between us will fade like the passage of time

There are people dancing in the street for you
Your head works in mysterious ways
There are gossamer strings round your fingers
Watching your face turn into midnight
I only like you when the stars align
The pleasure is all mine

Watching the bubbles rise
Like rain in the summertime
I wanna love you like
The trains don't wait for no one
Careless and certain
I'm feeling calm
Washing over my body
And filling my palms
I'm scrawled in a notebook
Of parallel lines
And I know that you're there
And I wanna cry

I said I was done
But I barely knew what it was
And everything that'll come
Between us will fade like the passage of time
