This is about you and me

this is about our situation

and the things i can't help but mention

this is about the road we took

before we chose to close this book

this is about our first second and third impressions

and how many times it took us to finally learn our lessons

 

 

this is about how your waves crash down on me

as i shove my true feelings into a bottle and throw them out to sea

you suck me in and spit me out

but lately im hearing there could be a chance of drought

 

 

this is about the way i go back to you almost instantly

just for a sense of stability

and the way i have a tendency to forgive your lack of honesty

though my tolerance is fading quickly

and your lack of faithfulness

is becoming the least of what you transgress

 

 

this is about your tears

and how they always manage to keep me here

and about your promises you make

while we play the game of i give and you take

 

 

this is about how i give you my heart

and about how you feel it so necessary to tear it apart

this is about how i lie awake at night

wondering if this wrong will ever make right

 

 

this is about you and i

and how tonight will be the night we'll finally say goodbye

i know this will be hard and i know i'll miss you

but it's just as hard to be with you as it is to be without you

this is about you and me

and how i'll let you go so condescendingly

and maybe this time your sea

                    will never catch up with me.
