High Rise

I'll save this for late night

a cup of coffee and a long walk through the park

down from this rooftop I see the pond and the great lawn through the dark

just when should I tell you?

that's always been the toughest part

I know how it ends but not how it starts

So this is how I choose to bring this around

an that's all for now

I'm running out of time, just tell me how to make this right

because I'm sick of planning ways to make you mine

recounting all the lines I'd give to your expectant eyes

but I failed to see the signs

It's not the first time that my thoughts would get the best of me

so I'll keep to myself, and just keep on thinking wishfully

I know that this won't help

I need to say this to your face

We both know this talk won't take place

Don't bother to tell me

this time I can see in your eyes

that I'm caught between perfect lies and an impossible dream

Just tell me how to make this right

because I'm sick of planning ways to make you mine

recounting all the lines I'd give to your expectant eyes

but I failed to see the signs
