(A Second To Change Everything) Lyrics

The bandaid has been on for far too long

It was on the wrong wound

What a poor start

We pushed on anyway

Plains turned to mountains

Though slowly

It all started to go awry

Dragged through trails

We pushed on anyway

How we dwelled on the idea of the word potential

How we thought low tide was just around the bend

We moved in together, sought out stability

Then to find out we were doing the minimum

We pushed on anyway

To need help but not have the resources

Then to find out I wasn't trying hard enough

Things, in fact, weren't going steadily

Stressors discombobulating

Family this, family that

Work this, work that

To need help but not have the funds

We picked on one another

You're engaging in things the wrong way

You're not doing these things how I want

Pushed on anyway

We lost our love in the midst of light

As I'm not providing with what you need as a partner

It all happened so…

We took things fast, cornered tight

Didn't feel it until too late

I'm not providing with what you need whilst living together

Now, it is selfish of me to pry

To ask to try again

The shear pettiness of me purely not understanding

You even expressed how it wasn't the time

How long would it take?

Should it take?

Maybe you want to start anew

If we were on our own, together

Things would work out in my eyes

But in the same instance

The bandaids were not applied correctly

And it occurs to me that I wasn't handling things to the best of my ability in the beginning as I wasn't healthy

The past does not change

I didn't get the help I needed so I lashed out on you

Vice versa

To take the time to stay together, separately?

To grow side by side until we were ready to live together in harmony?

When we're both grown and stable?

When we have jobs and are working on dreams?

It's true that you've made me smile like no other has

It's true that I believe we've had many good memories

It's true that time and space heals things

And it's true that we should go slow

Personally, it hurts so much to wait to speak to you

Personally, it hurts that I'm stuck and don't feel at home

Personally, it hurts I can't move on until I'm back in 801

Personally, I've never felt this lost

I know you're hurting too

You've talked about how bad it's been for so long

There's a lot outside our relationship going on

So is it time to take the bandaids off?
