All These Years

Now is the time that we let things go.
The things we've done since Freshman year blow farther and farther away.
We can't help ourselves, because we know that we've grown up.
Our people have moved away and we can't get them back.
But now is really the time to move on.
We never fell in love in the first place,
but we were young and we knew everything.
Our guilt from what we've done will suffocate us.
We can't be held responsible for falling in love.
Our sins pull us back to where we belong,
since we were so young, the pain will keep us here.
But now we know that it's time to let go.
Can't we give up this plan that we've deemed so important?
We were all just Freshmen.
I died for my sins, but I never learned any different.
Don't hold me responsible for this,
I only knew everything when I was this young.
Keep me close to you when you leave.
These years won't just pass me by,
all these memories we've built will not leave me now.
We're all moving too fast, and I want time to pause.
Just pause.
Hold my clock,
I'll take you home and we can talk
about all these years
that slipped through our fingers.
All these years.

Dragon

Kiss me.
I kiss you back.
It's not right in front of me,
but I see it there.

The passion,
the blow of fire beneath our wings.
Who could have known we'd be here right now?
I loved you first.
But I won't love you last.

Drown me in alcohol.
Dull the pain of letting you run away.
I should have called for you.
I should have let you be with me.
But my fire burned out.

My bible rests in my hand taking the place of yours.
I feel safer, now.
I feel more ready to be me than any other person.
I feel like stepping out and breathing.

That fire started to burn too hot.
That fire started to melt me down,
and I am much to strong to give in to you.
I won't let my heart run away.
And I won't let you take it with you.

I should have loved you first,
 but I never loved you at all.
The dragon breathes fire,
but never under its wings.
For it reserves the strength to fly.

If you take me home,
I'd run away.
I'd fly home,
because you're not mine,
and I am not yours.

I will breathe on my own from now on.
I am the wings,
and I will fly.
Because I reserve the strength.
I will reserve my heart.

I never loved you at all.
