The Waves

Close to forgiven
So close to the past
Closed like the door never was
Life has this way
Of threading the needle
So it's buried in a haystack in your soul
A breath of forgiveness
Itself incomplete
Why do words pack up and go every time?
Go run the numbers
It's where the waves meet
The sand only serves to remind

Oh won't you sing me a song
I promise won't be for long
Even the brightest stars
Can't burn forever
It will keep me alive till you're gone

Close to forgiven
So close to the past
Closed like the look in your eyes
It's tough, I remember
To blink, I forget
If I ever didn't feel it inside.
