These Days, by Andy Brenner

You know somehow this isn’t what I had planned
This isn’t the way it’s supposed to be
Standing here talking to myself trying to sort out where I am
Confused in every sense of the word
And nothing makes sense to me

Things are different that’s for sure
What would I change, given the chance
Would I find a way to be where you are
Would I finish this game
Would I get up and walk away
Would I ask you to dance?

I’ve been looking for answers these days
I’ve been praying for help
You’ve been leaving my thoughts these days
I’ve been hoping you’d stay

You know sometimes I dream of us here
Sharing a breath beneath the starry sky
Not that I’m still lost for you, well maybe a little
I’m always a little lost
I have too much hope to just stand here
And dream away my life

Would you mind if I kissed you right now
You’re irresistible drawing me in
Please won’t you stay just for a little while
A minute or an hour
It doesn’t matter how long it’s a tragic gift
To see you again

I can’t wait for summer to come
I can feel the change in the air
The wind becomes a breeze that floats across my fingers
Caressing your face
This song becomes an anthem marching through my soul
Maybe this is my prayer

So it’s not today, you know I understand
So it’s not tomorrow, I get the point
Don’t give up hope that it might be someday
I know you have that hope
I can see it in your eyes when you dance with me
I can hear it in your voice
