Dear John

So long, I lie here entwined like a helix

Don’t know where I begin, where you end

How long do we go on trying to feed it

I just know, I just know, that this can’t grow

I wrote this song to tell you I’m leaving

Afraid to say these words to your face

Must be better than a letter a text or an email

My ride stops here at the end of the line.

We stopped time, when we signed in the year, of our Lord, 1999

With a kiss spitting out, spitting out, time lines

From the moment we locked eyes at the station our hours got synchronized

Two reduced to one life, forever proposed, wicked like a land mine?

I wrote this song to tell you I’m leaving

Afraid to say these words to your face

Must be better than a letter a text or an email

My ride stops here at the end of the line.

Every kiss has lost its flavor

I’m not proud of my behavior

Beached on rock, thought that it was land

Lost respect, love departed

what was fresh, we took for granted

need to rely on more than just a friend

I wrote this song to say that I’m leaving

Afraid to say these words to your face

Must be better than a letter a text or an email

My ride stops here at the end of this line
