The School Dance (6:24)
I’ve always known that
things come down
to time and circumstance,
and with you,
I’ve always hoped that
they’d align,
so I wouldn’t have
to imagine …
a world where I can’t love you …
a world where I can’t love you.
sometimes the words we
think most kind
can be the ones that wound.
ones like friend
can make me yearn for
something more …
for something better than
a life in …
a world where I can’t love you …
a world where I can’t love you.
three years ago,
when I found you
in that late-night room,
something felt sure—
something I wanted to
hold on to.
was it a trick of light
that it fell away?
no, having hope’s no
guarantee
that anything ever comes,
and as for me,
I guess it’s best I
bide my time,
waiting patiently
to escape from …
a world where I can’t love you …
a world where I can’t love you.
