Not Staying
what is this that you're saying?
i don't care i'm not staying
'cause even when we're in the same place
our minds are miles away.
we keep trying to bridge the space between
right now and fond memories...
i once thought that we would be
old people in each other's company.
we'd walk arm in arm and forget the hard parts
of bearing her and raising her and sending her off.
and as we'd watch her walk away
you'd squeeze my hand and say,
"don't worry, everything is going to be okay."
but now i don't believe a word you're saying
so, i'm sorry, but i'm not staying.
i contorted my body and stretched myself thin
to form a bridge between now and when.
so, as i'm gathering my strength to say goodbye,
please quit saying i should've tried.
i don't care i'm not staying

our minds are miles away.

we'd walk arm in arm and forget the hard parts
of bearing her and raising her and sending her off.
and as we'd watch her walk away
you'd squeeze my hand and say,
"don't worry, everything is going to be okay."
but now i don't believe a word you're saying
so, i'm sorry, but i'm not staying.
i contorted my body and stretched myself thin
to form a bridge between now and when.
so, as i'm gathering my strength to say goodbye,
please quit saying i should've tried.
