Linger

Why do I have to love it here,
Can't I love you instead?

Why does my heart always insist
On fighting with my head.


I should have heeded my own warning
'I think we should give it a try'

No. It's meant to be black or white
It's meant to be fall or fly.


Believe me, I'd love nothing more
If time and money were irrelevant

If we could rid of consequence
And run just for the hell of it


Forget it all; delete our lives
We'd never have to look back

But reality screams and stings
It just doesn't work like that.


So there will be me. and there will be you
And we'll try not to linger too long
