Corners

It’s times like these I wish I couldn’t keep you
Tucked within the corners of my mind
Still today I wish I never claimed to
Walk a straight line anytime I like

I wonder if I called you
Would it be alright
To say I loved you

Morning hasn’t broken since I told you
I could use some time to make it right
Now you’re just a whisper, just a notion
Just a story I can read at night
The clouds move slower than they ever seemed to
Still, they find a way to pass me by
My friends though, they wonder what I’m used to
To love a man who never treats me right

I wonder if I called you
Would it be alright
To say I loved you


I tried to take the time to love another
Just a friend that I could cling to tight
His eyes they spoke with hunger and devotion
But they’re not the eyes in the corner of my mind

I wonder if I called you
Would it be alright
To say I loved you

I wonder if I called you
Would it be alright
To say I loved you
