we were just killing time / just learning how to swim
not sure what you were waiting for / hanging around with him
come now
you can't
be serious…
somehow
he'd play
mysterious…
and you'd fall for it…

and i'm getting too old to care who made what move
i can't keep shifting tectonic plates whenever it conveniences you

i'm sorry you're unfamiliar / with the world i've come to love
you lack the innate ability / to grasp the concepts it's made of
come now
you can't
just ignore it all…
somehow
you have to
come to terms…
and let it all go…

i'm getting too old to care about mistakes so small
i can't keep repaving mountainsides to prove i was there at all

my arms are starting to get tired
treading this frigid water...
