Fluorescent

I thought I saw you in my sleep last night
And for a moment I was there with you
The last time we spoke you said
If I ever turn away
Ask me to stay

Hold me back so I won't fall
'Cause sometimes this life can make me feel so small

When I'm not taking your hand
All on my own
Out in this world
Falling on and on
And by circumstances
If I see you again
I hope that a friend still means something

And I still remember how we tried catching memories in jars
Rode our bikes with no handlebars
Have you been holding up?
Has that scar ever healed
That your father left on you when he disappeared?
Oh, I wish that I could mend
If I were just

Taking your hand
All on my own
Out in this world
Falling on and on
And by circumstances
If I see you again
I hope that a friend
Still means something

We're destined to fail by design
If we can't find a hand to grasp and keeping it held tight
Your attempt is never failure if you're honest with yourself
'Cause a person's never yours to keep
Just to put 'em your shelf
And as fas as I'm concerned I'll keep you in my heart
Cause the time we had is fluorescent still

And the next time you think of me I hope I'm worth a call

Now where did the time go?
And how did we end up so far apart?
So far apart?
Now where did the time go?
And how did we end up so far apart?
So far apart?
