the us


here i am, sitting here
staring at our picture
you are sleeping
i am dreaming

do you remember that day?
i was so nervous
i ran when you came close
you were in my room

i regret the ignorance
that i delivered on your doorstep
i'm just not ready
or not used to the idea of you

you je t'aime here
and je t'aime there
you can say it all you want
how do i know if you're sincere?

is she still in the picture?
she's lurking in the shadows
the rumors and the secrets
scare me more than her

here i am
there you are
are you dreaming of me?
or just bland sleeping

tomorrow i'll see you
it's been weeks since last
i'd rather have you
as a friend

doubt invades my thought
i'll be here for you
i'm sorry for my feelings
i regret being me

i promise to meet you
at the end of the road
if you're alone or not
is the question of mind

wait for me to come around
burden on these worn shoulders
you fell for me too soon
i planned on later

here i am
there you are
are you dreaming of me?
or walking away

i will be around
i will survive your urges
you will move away
and we will meet again

will you be mine?
or will you sleep forever
i can see you dream
your chest rising and falling

are you awake?
are you ever going to wake up?
i need to say goodbye
it's not the time for the us to die

i feel like i've been dropped
from the 89th floor
that doesn't matter
but did you watch me land?

did you mourn at all?
or did you sleep on?
no matter, i'm above you now
where you can't touch

you drove me here
dropped me off to perish
didn't look back for fear
of turning to stone

what happened to us?
why did you leave me?
i said i would come around
and now i'm the one to die

back to proof
back next
