object permanence Songtext
von noremi

And I miss you
As you′re standing right in front of me
And the sun sets while I'm staring at my feet

Life is happening to me
As I watch helplessly
I′m a speck of dust just floating aimlessly

Wondering if I'm destined to repeat my history
Stuck in purgatory, holding breath
As I fight the urge to scream

Every morning I wake up to find that
Nothing's changed
I′m still waiting for the day
Reality′s eclipsed my dreams

I romanticize the end
Before we begin
As I picture you in fleeting memories

Drifting somewhere in between
The past and future tense
As I try to live through you vicariously


And I'll stay here, living on the same street
At the same address
You′ll move onto bigger, better things
Go on to some success

But I miss you
As you're standing right in front of me
Say goodbye, count down the minutes
Brace myself preemptively

′Til you're on a flight and leaving, gone
Halfway across the world
And I can′t recall the last thing that you said

And I'll see you once a year
If I could be so lucky
But for now I'm left with nothing but regret

And I miss you
As you′re standing right in front of me
And my tears are frozen
Seems that I′ve forgotten how to cry

I can't find the words to tell you what you mean to me
I can only hope you understand
I wish we had more time
