Components of Life

Let's pretend for a second

That "I love you" wasn't a blessing and a curse.

That closed doors could be walked through

Without the magic of a brand new time machine.

I see the flashing red lights.

They're not for emergencies.

I see the cabs at night

With a bunch of empty seats.

You can't give up

Even if you wake up to a fog.

You can't slow down

Even if you're feeling so alone.

These components of life,

Some pass me by,

Others make me cry.

These components of life,

Some plant a trap,

Others make me laugh.
