very delirious, must sleep, but optimistic

You fell in love with living
Now she might break your heart
And leave you clad in tubes and baseball caps
With only memory to keep you warm
So much you have yet to do
I pray she’ll take your hand again
So much I know you will do
If she comes to her senses

Now I’m halfway across the world
Suddenly in your living room
And though you smile, all I can do is cry
Life is breaking my heart too
But if you have hope I sure as hell will too
Just give me a minute to miss you before I have to

Someone shoot the messenger
Before this becomes real to me
Someone tear this cancer from my brother
Before my pessimism runs free
So much spirit in him to Erode
But can that beat malignancy?
Get me out of this ER episode
And on the next plane back home

Now I’m halfway across the world
Suddenly in your living room
And I’m as powerless as I was there
But at least I’m close to you
I’m sorry I’m fearing the worst
Before I have a reason to
Just give me a minute to miss you before
I have no choice in what I can do

You, given a tentative everything
Promises for a future you may never see
But your glass is half full in more ways than one
Throw it in irony’s face
Wash my worries away

Now I’m halfway across the world
Suddenly in your living room
And when you say it’ll be okay
I find strength for myself in you
Let’s continue our fling with living
Sweaty palms and everything
Just give me a minute to miss you so
I never take you for granted again
