Lyrics
If I could step outside of time
And stand right next to God above
Perhaps I'd get a better read
On all my panicked acts of love
If I would step behind the veil
And count back seconds to sublime
Perhaps I'd get a better take
On all the things I thought were mine and only mine
Because in every passing breath
There is a song that wasn't sung
And in every drop of sweat
There is painting never hung
And when I finally leave this earth
As all the moments start to blur
I'd know the ones I loved the most
Are just a song I've yet to learn
in every wide eyed blue Kiss
Olive scent manifest
Soft proud chested
Tattooed interest
Sad still memory
Brush stroke empathy
Peaceful blackening
Ink stained wandering
It's melody, and harmony
Bright color tomfoolery
The things we lose don't ever leave
Long echoes of a symphony
I loved you then like fading pens
Newspaper print of past events
Occurring still on yellow page
As fiber fails and starts to fade
I love you now like knowing God
A simple peace, a passing thought
Like stars still shine that faded out
And guide my way from north to south
