I pictured you back on the shore, ankle anchored in. I dreamt I was drowning, but dreamt when I woke you'd be welcoming. I thought we could weather the seasons, but look what they did to you. I can't find a remedy for all of these things that I put you through. But you'll leave, you'll leave. I spent all my days staring out at the waves in their wandering, searching for something that they'll never find, but they learn too late. I wrote down my story to tell you and hoped you'd return to me, but you've got your bliss now and I'm draining bottles of remedies. But you'll leave, you'll leave. And all I can do (all I can do) is wait for you (I'm waiting for you) to miss everything (I miss everything) and see it all through. Will we see it it through? But you'll leave, you'll leave. I've grown sick from the doubt and uncertainty. I won't let you steal any more years from me. Now the color fades.
