she's rising and i'm sinking i'm losing sleep she's resting sound in bed with such variety i'm driving and she's finding that she'll survive when i'm long gone do i stay in your mind at least? there's so much time and nowhere left to go she's overcompensating for what she can never let go of there's so much time and nowhere left to go am i just an escape for time to pass through she's lying and i'm thinking she's trying to forget it all a memory of the past i'll be i'm buying that she's trying the threat is clear and growing strong i dream to have such clarity it's all i'm thinking about i guess i'll figure it out i'll think i'll drink to each new lesson ignore the passing of days eventually i'll fade and in the end it's just a lesson
