somehow

coming slow
be careful-- you don't know
the whole world can pass you by
pass you by in an instant

i let go
and stood there-- now i know
that waiting is so useless
it's so useless when you can't tell what you want

it's no mystery to you or me
that life can plan itself around
your hopes and dreams
sometimes it seems it all comes crashing

down in
(your heart can't save you now because it's)
broken
(and you can't keep the pain away for)
so much longer now
the water overflows
and you lose again somehow
somehow

***
somehow sunset brings it all together just like sunrise...
***
i watched the sunset reflecting on the windows of the eighteenth floor
how i wish that this could last forever
if i could pause the time i'd do it everyday for just a moment
in that moment of perfection
that only comes around when you least expect it
that only shows itself when no one knows it can be seen
