lyrics

That’s how we met.
A couple clumsy dancers swaying to an awkward tune.
I did it to you.

Like water colors
Mixing in an inky mess. You were in red.
And I was in a Royal blue.

I said wait.
Wait for me.
I held you close. I let you go.
I swear I saw you slowly swim away.
From me.
I held my breath. I had to go.
“I’m sorry” takes a lot of breath to say.

I love my job.
But I guess it’s gonna get me killed some day.
That's good enough.

Long distance call.
From the other side of the bed.
I hang up.
I had nothing to say.

Except “wait.”
Wait for me.
I held you close. I let you go.
I swear I saw you slowly swim away.
From me.
I held my breath. I had to go.
“I’m sorry” takes a lot of breath to say.
