Longing to dissapear off the radar

"I was meant to tread the water, but now iv'e gotten in too deep"

He thinks: You are a girl and I am a boy, we in our genetics want different things in life.

He stumbles:You will agree to this moment here because you like me, because you think you are different and can change me, because you think that the inevitable is so far into the future that you can afford to live for now, because you are naive.

Well you agreed but you seemed a little angry at the end
You seemed speechless with no words to defend
You said I was just another 'wanker on the shelf'
I think maybe you were just angry at yourself.

Now you walk right by me with so many words more to say
you could have said it all before but we both know
the right time is too far away
what was, was and what is now is
If you gave up something for me then well, more fool you.

He gets out.

Ladies, C'est la vie.

Lights turn off.

Taking cover here in these walls,
remembering the reasons I took these falls
staring at photographs with memories stapled to the sides
wondering when this is over where there will be to hide

Hanging on a threshold feeling too tired to care
I look around this room and wonder if you were ever there
would your bones have to break for you to remember?
it's okay, cut loose, I'll see you in September

Smoke in our eyes, maybe we never saw
all the wrongs that were there before
dreams seem to leave this room and leave me alone
I'm wishing too much, I'm arresting my phone

words may escape these moments we'r not sharing
because your presence isn't up for caring
shadows are filling my room but
how can i ever say you left too soon?
