Couldn’t we just stay

‘Stead of turning the tides?

Watching it fade away

Til the end of our lives?

They’re pictures, not mirrors

Couldn’t we just stay?

The mist’s growing clearer

And blurs what they say

Our ties are all frayed

With this time-driven sorrow

Couldn’t we just stay

And try again tomorrow?

The future is calling

But keep it at bay

Before we go falling

Couldn’t we just stay?
