                                              January roads at night, safe from the cold
                                              The sound of the CD that never gets old
                                              I should make peace even if I still believe
                                              Or even if I just want to

                                 I seek wisdom to soothe my heart
                                “Sometimes people just grow apart”
                                 You ask me if we can finally rest
                                 I smile and say we’re at our best 

I’ll never admit, nor you of course
The truth is, things have never been worse 

                                                                         We settle for a new attempt
                                                                         Always agree, with no contempt 

                            You were never perfect, you nor I
                            Life wasn’t perfect, I will not lie
                            But God was it close, far more room to worsen
                            So happy, existing, with you as my person 

Just know in time, we’ll work it out
We’ve survived an age of dread and doubt
Your gaze, empty eyes and weakened sorrow
“Do you really think there will be a tomorrow?”
