Lay Down Again
Yearning for Connection: Wingman Bob's Reflections on Lost Friendship
Lyrics
You call yourself a friend of mine
You claim to be a friend of mine
But you never call, and never stop by
You never reach out or visit
I keep say never mind, one day we'll get time
I dismiss the neglect, hopeful for future time together
Wearing a mask, protecting my pride
I wear a metaphorical mask to preserve my pride
But I wish you were near now
I yearn for your presence now
I wish you were here now
I desire you to be here with me
My armour grow rusty
My emotional defenses are weakening
And there`s shards on the floor
There are emotional wounds and fragments around
I see your face just fading away
Your memory is gradually fading
Image of what I used to know
The image of who you used to be is diminishing
Now I might as well lay down
I contemplate surrendering and giving up
Years passed by, days went so fast
Time has passed swiftly, taking moments for granted
Took it for granted, and gave what i had
I offered what I had but now realize its value
Must have been running, but went nowhere at all
I may have been busy but achieved nothing
Got lost in a maze, and faded away
I got lost in confusion and faded into obscurity
I feel lost in the city
I feel disoriented in the urban environment
But wherever I go
Regardless of my location
Just an outsider, watching the crowd
I remain an outsider, observing the crowd
I see the lights at night
I observe city lights in the night
And Voices from a far
I hear distant voices
I cant escape from you
I cannot escape the thought of you
I know you`re there somewhere
I sense your presence somewhere
Somewhere
You exist somewhere
Somewhere
