The familiar sight of him wrapped in the gold hue of the morning sky
The familiar sound of him carelessly laughing by my side
The familiar sensation of my heart kicking into cut time
How much longer can I indulge moments of peace between him and me
Before it must end?

Another day that begins the same, waking up to the blare of my alarm clock
Another day that persists the same, the endless drone of the year passing by
Another day that goes on the same, the countless hours passing next to him
Another day that's ending the same, dreaming of his hand in mine

Captured by his bright eyes, silly grin, his socks that never match
I want to spend everyday with him in reach
But if he rejects me I just can't endure
Shrinking what time that remains

Our time is ending in a few months, such short months
And I keep pace with the seconds drifting by
Will we stay the same to the unchangeable end
Our footsteps steady to the march of time?

Another month that's ending the same, gone in a flash of precious stolen moments
Another day that goes on the same, ever aware of the the time slipping by
Another hour persists the same, a soft confession on the tip of my tongue
Another second begins the same, unable to find the courage to speak
Even with his absent-minded ways and stubborn attitude
I want to spend everyday with him in reach
But if he accepts me there's no guarantee
That what we have will remain

Our time is ending in a few months, such short months
And I keep step to the seconds moving by
If I change pace can we find a different end
Our footsteps pushed by the march of time?

Another day of your grin, another day of your voice, even a day of your scowl
I want it to last forever
But time never stops, tempo set, ending fixed
I'll take the measures I get

Our time is ending in a few days, such short days
And I keep pace with the seconds speeding by
We'll stay the same to the recalcitrant end
My footsteps forced to the march of time
Never to stray from the march of time
Drowning these feelings in the march of time
