The Resolve

You could keep me up all night if you wanted a list of the reasons why I don't sleep
And you tell me you'd settle for knowing I'm alright
Mumbling something about a soul to keep
And I hold true the notions that we don't have the time to be worried about things that we can't see
But I meant it when I talked of limitless loving
So you'd better be happy, yeah, or this was all for nothing

As I take my same seat on the bus on the way in to meet you wondering if it's worth my while
And I wish that I had it in me just to pull you aside and then out of your exile
But you'll choose the life that you lead
Far be it for anyone else to dictate what you need
No matter what you told me, I could somehow forget it
Like all things this will fall to pieces if we let it
And I'm not the forgiving type
So I can't just put this aside
Leave it to the passage of time
How could I? How could I?
