i never thought i could tell
i'd feel this change in myself
or feel for anyone else
you always knew how I felt
and every second i wait
i'd feel i wasted away
a single hour of day
you could be near me

i think that it is time you
welcome this heart of mine and
you will see what you've meant to me
and this meaning i've attached to time

i've grown accustomed to hear
it isn't i you've held dear
i keep my heart on my sleeve
in every hope you would see
and there is nothing i want
except for me in your thoughts
the ones you keep to yourself
and hide from anyone else

i'd ask of myself
could it be anyone else
because it's harder to tell
here without you
