Slipstream

Three years ago I noticed a change in your voice
You thought I wouldn't notice
But of course I'd notice
Because every morning we talked became more difficult

I could hear it in the words I love you
I could hear it in the words I'm fine
It doesn't matter what i ask, every answer is the same
Does it really matter at this point?

Aren't you feeling cold
If I could jump out of the window, grow wings and leave
I would because this feels wrong
I want to see the world
I want us to see the world

How? Just how? I don't know enough to understand
Everything is too big, we feel too small
Like an ant, i work and work
But all it takes is one wrong step and it's all gone
I want to take care of you
I want to take care of us

So I feel it's time for us to go south
Because if it stays like this we won't work out
I know way to well it always ends like this
But I believe in us more than you'd think

One breath after another I feel your temper getting shorter
And an almost lit fuse about to bring beautiful warmth into this world
Because I know the closer we get to our goal
The further we drift apart
And the slower I go the quicker you will arrive
But I'm sorry this is just too much

At sunset I'll be home, fractured and cold but alive
Having seen new things
Seeing more in 3rd person that I ever had before
And I now know that we're the same

So at sunrise all I wish for is for you to stretch your wings
Leave me behind and fly, just fly, watch as the world falls apart
Beneath your feathers in its own wretched grace
So I can someday see that too
I promise I'll be in your slipstream before you know
