Even cared

Sometimes I think that you are
Speculating that the other person might also be afraid or uncertain.
Also scared

And I'm sorry but it's too late now

You know you only want it

Always reaching for something falling

You start racing only when you

Oh I can't see you

The same as before

But even if I tried to

I don't want to anymore

You keep telling me things

I'm gonna ignore

Cos it's too late now

What are you still waiting for

You know you only want it

In mid-air
