The Same Side of the River

THE SAME SIDE OF THE RIVER
I found the note
You wrote your number on
I never phoned you
I was afraid to
Loneliness is safe
What did it cost you?
What did you want to say?
I would have lost you anyway
When I’m alone I’m safe
We’re from the same side of the river
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give her
To help her get back here
I’ll keep the pathway clear
When will we run out of time?
Do I ever even cross your mind?
What’s up with this waiting game?
I’m dying but I keep that flame
Burning in your name
We’re from the same side of the river
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give her
To help her get back here
I’ll keep the pathway clear
I missed the last train out of nowhere
Now I’m lost searching for somewhere
Maybe it’s for the best
I can’t find your address
