He shuts the door it locks behind.
He checks his watch third past nine.
He thinks to himself "Im late again"
He climbs the steps he takes his time.
Then all at once, the door swings wide to his new life.
Wonder if tomorrow he wont go, but they'll both know
they're under the same sky in the same life.
She said "go forward you can't wait for this"
Walking backwards never gets one far.
Summer came and went so fast.
The leaves all changed, and after that
Fell blankets of snow.
He lies her bed and paints her ceiling.
Half awake but barely dreaming.
Besides him she sleeps.
Wonder if tomorrow he wont go, but they'll both know
they're under the same sky in the same life.
She said "go forward you can't wait for this"
Walking backwards never gets one very far.
