Place & Time

You need to understand what you do to me
I'm not just here for you whenever you decide
And, don't say that you think you can't get through to me
We used to feel so normal
And now you act so formal

You need to understand the way it is for me
I can't commit unless this is for real
You hold my hand; ignore all the complexity
We find a new way to begin
And then the world comes rushing in

Why is this so hard for you
Why is this so hard for you
To understand where I am coming from
It kills me we're so out of synch
It kills me when I start to think
If only you could see me we could just go back and be

In our own place and time
Stop the minutes ticking on
'Til everything else is gone
Our own place and time
A pattern that we can't break
A cosmic connection we can't shake

Why do we keep trying to resuscitate
A feeling that we know we can't survive
Trying to ignore an expiration date
Content to be devoured
By connection that has soured

Why is this so hard for me
Why is this so hard for me
Every time it happens just the same
No matter where or when
It plays out this way again

No matter where we've landed
I always end up stranded
In my own place and time
Stop the minutes ticking on
'Til everything else is gone
Our own place and time
Nothing is automatic
Nothing between us only static

But, where would we be if we had every possibility
What versions of ourselves could finally be aligned
Is there some configuration we can find
Somewhere that's our own place and time
Stop the minutes ticking on
'Til everything else is gone
Our own place and time
A pattern that we can't break
A cosmic connection we can't shake
Our own place and time
But, the minutes will keep ticking on
'Til even the future's gone
Our own place and time
Is a moment we've proven doesn't last
So, let's leave it in the past
