March demo

lyrics

What is this ache
Threatening to break my heart in two
This tender skin
I've been living in can feel it too
Might be a change in the weather
Might be I'm losing my mind
I find myself a beggar
Bartering with time

But the trouble with time is
The line that it flies
Is straight and true
And it don't give a damn
About all the plans
I have with you
And there's nothing we can do

Heaven's sake
If I could only take this life with you
And run it back
You know that's exactly what I'd do
Might be impossible to promise
Might be a vow we'll bend
But let's swear our love's forever
And that there is no end

But the trouble with time is
The line that it flies
Is straight and true
It's part of the deal
That the love that we feel
Is tinged in blue
And there's nothing we can do

Of course a shortness of breath
Doesn't always lead to death
And though life is hard
And the earth is mostly just a boneyard
It's pretty in the sunlight
