lyrics

now it's getting late
I'm still pacing the room
with the phone held too tight to my ear
as I listen intently
I just might wear a groove in this carpet

needlessly fidgeting
with every object
that happens to be within reach
to distract from the gravity
this whole thing is a pretty big deal for me

constantly filled with some shimmering pulse
that I've since learned was just nothing more
than youthful exuberance
and a focus for my own obsessiveness

and I'm sure, when I hang up the phone
I'll be rushing
to get in front of my PC
just to see if you're on
now that all rationality's gone

a moment
a pause in the noise
standing with one side set alight with color
and sensing
that maybe right now
this is the pinnacle of all that comes from this

so just for now..
maybe for now....

debating with myself
whether every interaction with you was
necessary
or one massive waste of valuable time
because with this perspective
I'm grieving for the seconds I misused
