Make Believe

I’ll show you a little grace,
You start filling empty spaces;
There has to be a way for both of us to save our faces.
Hasn’t snowed since I don’t know when;
Waiting on myself to call my friends,
But they’re either far away or they just don’t exist.

So I just don’t exist.

I think you came cause I moved on.
Just a little too late, just a little too strong.
Now you pine for me and I can’t see
‘Cause I cannot believe.
I think I know what’s in your skin--
What’s bleeding out and pushing in,
I was far away and lied when I said I didn’t dream.

But I always sleep and always dream I’m seeing you.

Blame it on me because I’m quiet.
Speak loud because you bring the riot.
Knew you’d be there exacting fate,
And I just fell apart like I was clay.
Thought that maybe I could light the fire,
It’s been out since I got tired,
Didn’t think much of anyone but me to hold the flame.

But I mean it, when I say; you’re good to see. And good for me.

Never thought I’d make believe what I was seeing pull me close yeah thought that I’d believe it for a little while.
Always seemed to see you in the summer falling underneath the maple tree in my back yard I was laughing hard.
Always dreamed that time ran out that I lived long enough to watch the clouds, and get around, and see what I’ve seen.
Never thought I’d make it out alive and from time to time I still do not believe that I’ll be here for all that long.

This snow’s just really quiet,
Wrote you all those songs like you would buy it;
Cause the sun is gone and it’s too late to sing along.
