767

Seven, six, seven
Might let her hold on for a second more
And this?
What a horrid time to tell her I
Never been better – shit
I never said much so what would they know anyway?
Not a lie if I believe it to be true
Will it ever get better if she never lets go?
I don't wanna leave her alone again
It's fight or flight
If I gotta see her poor heart severed
That 767 better crash on my way home
Seven, six, seven
I'm steady counting every sound
As she takes another breath of thinning air
It dissipates as I
Let her go, never – fuck
Heart screams panic
Can I never find the words to ease the dread?
A fear that in this distance grows disease
Will it ever get better if I never let go?
I don't wanna be all alone again
It's fight or flight
If I'm gonna feel this way forever
That 767 better crash on my way home
That 767 better crash on my way home
Can't convince myself to go
Still it pains me so much to stay
There's no in between to be
No limbo, no purgatory
I am only down the road
So many hundreds of miles away
Time, it will not wait for us
Yet I'd wait til death only to know she'll be okay
Will it ever get better if she never lets go?
I don't wanna leave her alone again
Never again will I
Will I ever just tell her?
This reticence holds lips closed
Left every word unsaid
It's fight or flight
If I'm gonna leave our hearts untethered
That 767 better crash on my way home
