I CAN'T BE


I know it well
I know the fall
And I know that you know it too

You know the last chance
You know its come around
And you know what all this means

Your last chance to be with me
Come out and be part of me
This is fate and we can go right now
Forever write our own

But you're not the one
You're not alone
You're all the way down, I'm on my way
I'll never catch up to you

Could I get a letter to you
In time for you to stop 
And think
And dream
And let my mind take yours away

Always good with words
My ink is well dried now and all over
I never spoke, I wrote
I never cared for spoken thoughts

Everyone knows where I'll end up
I can't ask the question
I can't speak it out aloud but I can dream
I can be afraid
And you know that you can save

Goodbye to all who listened
My lecture finished on a sad note
A life metaphor for all to see

You know it's true
You know it's me
You know the reasons I can't be part of this
