Fallen Hopes and Dreams, and All the In-Betweens

Why try so hard to make this work

I know we were never meant to hurt

But this hurts and so do you

What can we never make it through

I gets to hard to breathe

When I try to understand everything

It is just like falling to the ground

No one there to catch me, you're not around



Fallen hopes and dreams

And all the in-betweens

We fail way too much

We are far too out of touch

To see when the light

Comes rushing at our face

Such a fallen grace

Gravity pulls too hard, it's time to fight



Sycronize the clock

Listen to it tick and tock

Making time fade away

With the sunlight from the day

And then the wind picks up

You know taht this is it

Our one last chance to make a stand

Before we hit the land



We fall to pieces

Without the peace and justice meant

It's like burning out the lent

When we open our pockets to ourselves

We can't make this time up

It has ticked and tocked away

We just wasted another lovely day

When does it stop?



Just make it stop

I don't want regret

I don't want something to forget

I want your face

I want your falling grace

I want to catch you as you fall

I want to make you feel no hurt at all

I want to run

I want to get away

I want to have some fun

I want another lovely day

I want a faith in you that all of this is true

And it is

I know it is

You give me faith

Catch me now

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one very abstract for a reason.  I don't want who it is about to know it is about them, but I want them to get the picture.  I want someone who actually cares. I want a better life.
