Lifetime by Straight White Teeth

Climbing through the circle on your back
Less like a war, more like a panic attack slowed down
He couldn’t wait to have you by his side for a lifetime

The best man’s daughter calls your name
Under the light of a stained glass window, she whispers
“There’s no shame in running home, this time”

And if you believe
That your love is true
Light would bend right now
Form shapes here in front of you
But he’s just too close
And he cannot see you

For a lifetime

Begging like an angel for your name
Eyes fixed on the door from where you came in last night
I couldn’t wait to have you by my side for a lifetime

And in this moment I possess
Some vivid love, not fear of death, darling
You greet my presence like a ghost, and it aint right

And if you believe
that my love is true
Light would bend right now
To form shapes here in front of you

You are too far now
And I cannot see you

For a lifetime
