It’s Always Something

I couldn’t tell you how or when
We’ll never know
How difficult it has to be

As innocent as walking home
Too much was said
Or just enough, eventually

And you were always something better then
But I said nothing
All the same, that way was all we ever knew

How could we notice what’d begun
We never talked about it
Held long enough to have to breath

And you were always something better then
But I said nothing
All the same, that way was all we ever knew

See, I couldn’t stand up by myself
When they sent me off to war
All I wanted was to hold you
All a sparkle in the glow

We were always something even when
We copped to nothing
But in the cold the steam was forming every word

Running out of races, still we see
So many faces
And on a bridge we slid across thin ice and stopped, caught in the light
