14 days to go... Days go all too slow.
Will I say what both of us know

14 days from now?.. Days are years, somehow.
Will we ever turn this back around?

What a feeling when you're looking at me.
I see the real deal but you don't believe it.
Yet still you meet with me here every two weeks,
before you go home to the man whom you live with.

What do you think that we are?

14 days until... our next "won't they, will?"
Will they be in each other fulfilled?

14 days ahead... I stay quiet instead.
Can't you just take the words out of my head?

What a feeling when you're looking at me.
I see the real deal but you don't believe it.
Yet still you meet with me here every two weeks,
before you go home to the man whom you live with.

What do you think that we are?

I don't come here for the coffee and you know it.
When your phone lights up, it's him, and you ignore it.
I don't want to wait another 14 days.

I don't want to wait another 14 days.
I won't give it up, 'till I see you every day.

What do you think that we,
Where does he think that you, 
When can I be where you are?

14 Days

All in all it's like I'm waiting in the dark,
for the darkness to recede,
and hindsight's bright lights,
shine upon your face to see...

you say, "I love you and I'll hold you close," but I can't.

I’m weighed down, leaned on by my dreams
and you’re a silhouette behind a screen.
It feels like love got re-unseen,
now you’re a silhouette behind a screen...

too far away from me.

See me clearly, like I’m staring at the sun.
Every line along my face -
my pained smiles, eye lines,
only give my heart away.

'Cause I love you and I’d hold you close, but I can’t.

I’m weighed down, leaned on by my dreams
and you’re a silhouette behind a screen.
It feels like love got re-unseen,
now you’re a silhouette behind a screen...

too far away from me.

Cast no shadow or shade.
Reciprocate.
I can sit here and wait.

I will pray the light comes in waves.
Illuminate.
All I need is your face.

But it’s too far away.
Yes it’s too far away.
Dark and too far away.

Silhouette

Giving in to colour in your room.
What was always grey would then be soon,

my soul, jaded green,
clean.

Still jaded, 
with a lot of blue,
still dreaming of you,
in the green and blue.

Living on in colour without you.
In a shade, a shadow, your green hue.

My soul, jaded green,
unseen.

Still jaded, 
with a lot of blue,
still dreaming of you,
in the green and blue.

You faded, 
where I coloured you.
Soon you will be due,
for colours new.

Still Jaded

Don't you come undone.
Don't you race nor run.
Little bad will come between all or none.

Stories on my skin,
as if written down in ink,
calloused fingertips
only you notice.

We're like dust dancing in a beam of light.

You're the only one
making poetry, unsung,
of how I'm not so young
but uncomfortably numb.

We're like dust dancing in a beam of light.

We needn't burst the bubble we're in,
keep talking.
We can occupy the space between our
world's, dreaming.
Both bound to obligation, we are
escaping.
Feel that certain shade of green your name is.
Keep floating.

We needn't burst the bubble we're in,
keep talking... to me.
We can occupy the space between our
world's, dreaming... the dream.
Both bound to obligation, we are
escaping... we are free.
Feel that certain shade of green your name is.
Keep floating... with me.

Dust dancing in a beam of light, we're like, dust dancing in a beam of light.
