I can't decide which one was better
Expressing difficulty in determining the superiority of one path over another.
Either way I'm still a guest
Despite the uncertainty, acknowledging being a participant or observer in the journey.
So I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Committing to waiting for someone.
So I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Reaffirming the commitment to wait patiently.
Some place far and some one near
Referencing different locations and people, suggesting a diverse range of experiences.
The less I see, the more I fear

Memories lost without a trace

Forgot the details of your face

Run so deep it runs so wide

The ones who cross, the ones who lie

What matters most gets pushed aside

Some move slow and some too fast

Left with nothing but the past
