inches away & not knowing,
the space we share keeps us both apart.
we¹ll waste our whole lives, just missing each other.
we¹ll spend an eternity, just passing each other by...
inches away from never being lonely,
a chance to share, another human being¹s time,
needing to belong, to something or someone,
some point of reference, some peace of mind
inches away from waking beside you,
seeing god¹s flash-light change your sleeping smile,
into a frown,
as you come round,
the world outside spins slowly, slowly...
and all the time is ours.
time to re-dress you, undress you,
and all that time is ours...
inches away from learning to master
the tricks required, the magic compromise,
and failing to hold on, to that precious someone.
aching your way through, (the last moments)
the final unintended smile...
inches away from, watching you leave me,
and never quite understanding, all the reasons why...
i will let down friends
& i we will let down family
just to please you,
i can hear..... all the promises made.
but it doesn't take long before,
i get in your way,
have you out-grown us,
or did you just forget to say:
you've changed.... am i still the same?
by only remembering:
we'll ever forget,
still lost in the moment > when we first met.
for no ryme or reason,
your world's turned upside down.
no faith nor illusion > can turn this one back round...
i pull through the photographs, and look beyond the smiles,
inch my way through your diary
& hope to find some lies,
some thread; some way to explain:
your working late again.
enjoy all the parties,
cos they wont last that long,
enjoy the so-called friends as they drag themselves along...
you get on with yours
& i¹ll get on with mine....
I got my theories and I got my points of view
The world is flat and I still have a chance with you
God is good and life is fair and
Heaven's waiting so I'll meet you there and
They'll call last orders' down the kings and we won't fight
I'll walk you home and tuck you in at night and we'll -
We'll watch the dawn get mugged on Chapel Street
And we will raise a family
I'll be the apple of your parents' eyes and
They'll raise a glass to us and I won't drink the bottle dry
We'll wake each morning and we'll count our lucky stars
There's no relationship as strong as ours and
We'll share in half our problems, we'll talk our worries through
There'll be no little secrets that I hold back from you
You'll find fulfillment and I won't play away
And we can only get stronger
You've got suspicions and you say you've got proof
That my commitment's flawed and I can't speak the truth
That I am lost and I am scared and
The lawyer's waiting so I'll meet you there and
They'll call our number and we won't put up a fight
We'll split the pension and I swear I'll see you right
Where there was hate, well, please let there be calm
Before the storm besets us
You know I'll love you 'til the day I die and
I've got my reasons but please don't ask me why
We'll wake alone some nights and wish on falling stars
That no one makes the same mistakes as ours and
We'll never share our problems or talk our worries through
And all those little secrets will make their way to you
You'll find fulfillment, I'll play and lose away
And we won't raise that family
