walk in stride

Walk in Stride

It’s probably just me
But the rain it seems
Is falling just a little harder now
And resting in between
The cracks that break apart
A little further every day
Would you recognize me if I called?
And if I stayed inside or never lived at all, trapped within my walls
Don’t act like you won’t

The moon’s a watchful eye
As we walk in stride
And I can’t take it
Summer’s passed me by
Not asking why
A lonely heart can’t hide

All I can do is dream
Of fleeting possibilities
Of ever making right
The pain that I have caused
Despite your careless pretense
I know you still feel it burn
Would you take the time to reconcile?
Speak softly of the years spent living miles apart, though acting like its millions
Who are we kidding anyway

The moon’s a watchful eye
As we walk in stride
And I can’t take it
Summer’s passed you by
Not asking why
A lonely heart can’t hide

Of all the things from which I’ve run
I never thought you’d be one
Though it offers little consolation
I’ve often wondered what might have been

I must admit, it seems so foolish now
As we walk in stride
And I can’t take it
Summer’s passed us by
Not asking why
A lonely heart can’t hide
