She says well done and then she leaves
Reverberations never last
I’m strumming feelings I conceive
A poet’s curse has come and passed
She says good luck with this endeavor
Time now serves only as a lever

Pushing me on toward the one I want the most
I’m chasing dawn, ’cause I never had a chance

Something’s lost in this reprieve
Slow dancing with an empty heart
As I try to fly a dream
I’m cheating you just for a start
She says good luck with this endeavor
Don’t lose the best for the better

Pushing me on toward the one I want the most
I’m chasing dawn, ’cause I never had a chance
It’s taken me this much life, and I can’t fake forever
And it’s you I need, need me
Need me

She says good luck with this endeavor
Her face melts from now to never

Pushing me on toward the one I want the most
I’m chasing dawn, ’cause I never had a chance
It’s taken me this much life, and I can’t fake forever
And it’s you I need, need me
And it’s you I need, need me

Something’s lost in this reprieve
A poet’s curse has come and passed
As I try to fly a dream

She says well done and then she leaves
Reverberations never last
