its a quarter til five
call you up
on the phone

you say
"you never
meet me half way"
and i say
"meet me
at the park today"
you say
i never
meet you half way
and you
lower yourself
every time
and i say
meet me
at the park
today
and when i call you
up tomorrow
"will you meet me
at the park today?"

nothing is certain
not even uncertainty
knowing that
    here i am today
but where will you be
tomorrow

and i walk
back to the
park to know
that you
    are gone
your car pulls up
"did you
lose faith?"
and i know
nothing is for sure
nothing except today
and i remember
every yesterday
and the thought of
tomorrow
makes me sad

and being
with you
is just like
i remembered
let go of the swing
let go of the slide
its a quarter to five
call you up and say
meet me at the park today

a fleeting moment
ephemeral happiness
isnt that how
its supposed to be
so
everything
is
changing
now

changing
       into
            something
                    else
look into your eyes
and see me looking
back at me

its one moment in time
thats gone forever
one more moment
to remember

and you sit in the
parking lot
and i run home
its always this way
its time
and i have to go
so i run
   all the way
   home
   as fast as
   i can
