By You (Live)

I wish the time was mine
But it seems every time I close my eyes
The moments are gone in an instant
The treasured memories now so distant
But the moments I do get to view
Are surrounded in a whirlpool created by you

I don't believe in love at first sight
Love is just chemicals so it doesn't seem right
It's a nice thought, don't get me wrong
But I'm sick of hearing those dumb bloody songs
Time together is long overdue
Waiting in a cascading time-stream created by you

If my life were a song
It'd be way too long
But I know it'd be written by you

Romance is doomed
But I still wanna commit to you
I ramble too much about finite things
They say to speak from the heart and that's what it sings

The stars aren't aligned
Especially since it's daytime
But something about this does feel right
And I don't want to lose this sight
This book is gonna close
I wanna stay on this page forever written by you

If my life were a song
Then it's already way too long
But right now, it's composed by you

If my life were a song
Then it's a couple chords too long
But right now it's a brass-heavy rock song scored by you
