String Theory

Stop right there. Don’t look at me that way.
You know that I’ve done all that I can do.
You want to go but I want you to stay.
Anyone can see that your feelings are true.

Why is our timing never the same?
We can never get in sync with our hearts.
We both know that there’s no one to blame.
I guess we should’ve known that from the start.

In another life
We’d be together at last.
In another life
The future is our past.

You cause me so many headaches.
I can’t think; you’re always on my mind.
I’m willing to do whatever it takes
To keep you here; I want you all the time.

Now you express to me that you want me too
And that you’ve done what you think’s best.
Yet the pain in your heart is brand new.
From your lips, you lean forward and confess.

In another life
We’d be together at last.
In another life
Time wouldn’t move so fast.

What should we do about the two of us?
The answer’s simple; it’s as plain as day.
You’re with someone, but you refuse to discuss.
So again, don’t look at me that way.

In a world, a world far away from here
Versions of us are living oh-so free
And our minds and magenta skies are clear
Don’t know when, but I’ll know that we’ll be

In another life
At last, we’ll be together.
In another life
Meet you at the end of forever.
