What would it take to gain acceptance

To the grounds behind your eyes

You know I'm open to suggestion

The one you made we never tried

You let it slip right out

From under your breath

And it rolled around my head

Though it was nothing I'd considered

I knew it had to happen then

Stood on the banks of the Potomac

We watched the water rushing by

You said we should live in the moment

Then I'd miss you all the time

And I know no one will believe me

But I don't want a second chance

To be an object of desire

If that means slipping through your hands

If I had tried

To make you mine

You would have walked away

Life can't compete with memories

They never have to change

This world is full of missing persons

All of these unsolved mysteries

If someone says they know for certain

They're selling something certainly

So when I set myself to wonder

On all the questions that remain

The only one that even matters

Is when I'll see your face again

I keep looking back

For artifacts

To prove that you were here

The sound that's been

Keeps echoing

It never disappeared
