Destined For Defeat

It's been so long since we touched
the last time you'd gotten bold
I can't tell you what to do to make it right
I wore my shoes well until they got old

I don't know what to do to make it right
shoestrings untied and we both tripped
longing to get up again and couldn't
crawl through the damage, unequipped

so I'd guess we wait it out some more
but I doubt we'd get any closer in years
I'd let you touch me once again
but that's when it all disappears

and I'd be more than willing to say goodbye
once we're back on our feet
remembering only that you and I
were destined for defeat.
