In a 1000 years or maybe more
I could be a stranger to you again
And maybe we'd meet on the main street
In a city that we both live in
Some things that are almost completely lost
Could be edged off the cliff
When you reach your hand out to pull them back in
And when I finally found the book with your phone number
I stood there for minutes while the sun set
And when I looked up, it was dark out
Take out the trash, read a book
Push it out of my mind
I just don't wanna hear it
Get the onions from garden, get the water, try not to spill it
It's the only thing that I could really do
We are both elitist people that only had fun watching movies
And complaining about how much better they could be
I stood outside the car gazing up at the deep blue sky
For a little too long
But the cold weather snapped me out of it
In the mirror I caught myself smiling, and immediately stopped
Somehow feeling embarrassed
I walked around to the garden
But I saw something moving around inside
I got nervous as I leaned down
When all of a sudden it jumped up
And right past my face
I turned and looked, realizing it was just a leaf
And the wind took it away
The other night, I was staying up too late again
And I saw a picture of the family from 10 years ago
I didn't know that you saw it too but Rosie told me about it
Maybe you're wondering how I am
I go to work, I come home, I watch videos. Whatever
Things were so hectic back then
Cooking for everyone, folding laundry, dishes
Nowadays I don't do those things enough
She says that just means I'm busy
But I think she's just being overly cautious these days because
She's worried I might start hating her again
Time won't seem to do everything
No time seems to heal nothing!
I just find other things to do in my spare time
Look through old pictures
But think of the future
Should things just remain the same?
I saw your mom the other day, weird right?
She doesn't come out very often
But she couldn't find your phone number so she was asking for it
Talking about the picture my mom uploaded
You hate to admit when something like that
Makes you pick up the phone, huh?
It just got me thinking, too
Sometimes I just find myself wondering if I've really changed at all
I'm still way too opinionated in conversations
I forget important things people tell me
And I just start to worry if I'm the same as I always was
Stars blink out eventually
Wounds that don't heal eventually
Turn to dust on the bodies where they formed so long ago and
I'd like to see you, I'd like to tell you
But maybe photos will just have to do
I got a message from your grandparents the other day
Asking for money again
As I get older, I wonder if having children meant much to them
But at this point I'll probably never ask
That's how it is
That's just the way it is
I could be a stranger to you again
And maybe we'd meet on the main street
In a city that we both live in
Some things that are almost completely lost
Could be edged off the cliff
When you reach your hand out to pull them back in
And when I finally found the book with your phone number
