Sedimentary

Days will go by without my noticing 

Not a concrete thing has managed to survive

Ephemeral nights

Will fool me into thinking it’s been no time

No pillars on which to drape

The duration of our lives

Our lives

‘Cause I never learned to count on

More than what’s in front of me 

And what I hold close after I pull you in is more impression

Than anything you said to me that night

Still your words, they soothed me like they always do 

They always do 

They always do 

If I close my eyes

Will the sentiment remain

or will the sedimentary doubt settle in my veins

I feel the blood course through, it scares you

But darling it tells me that we’re alive

And on a current strong enough to last our lives

Our lives

Days will go by and one day will comprise 

The many epochs I spent swimming in your eyes

Or holding your hand through the night

Or off another cliff another time

Another time

Another time

Give me more time

Give me more time 

Give me more time
