Making April

I can see where you are
I can tell you're enjoying it so far
I would love to escape, but now I'm bound
By the burn of your eyes
Looking on as I'm starting to realize
I'm a pawn in your game, and this is checkmate
As the roses lift their heads to catch a glimpse of my demise
You'll be throwing lines around like ocean waves throw down the tides
And they are breaking on my shore
And the rescue team won't save me now, that I'm out too far
So I'll waste these nights for a while
But I'll be holding on to you forever
And this is where my heart is cold and torn
As I read the words you wrote last night, the butterflies are creeping through my spine
It's a thrill I can't shake
Yeah, I know we've been writing a mistake
But it's hard to erase the feelings I've drawn
I was caught in an awkward silence
Broken down by the sound of your prelude that you played to open our symphony
I've been sleeping with the sunrise watching hours pass away
Incidentally, I'm just waiting for the dusk to kill the day
And now I'm waiting for your call
While I bang on this piano like you care at all
So I'll waste these nights for a while
But I'll be holding on to you forever
And this is where my heart is cold and torn
As I hear the words you're saying tonight, I'm falling for them every single time
As the roses dip their heads a little further to the ground
There's a season change, and all the pinks and whites have turned to brown
Will we make it through the fall?
Yeah, are we gonna make it through this fall?
'Cause I don't wanna fall with you
So I'll waste these nights for a while
But I'll be holding on to you forever
(I'm trying, we're dying, yeah)
And this is where my heart is cold and torn
I'm taken by your hope-filled lines
They're well-designed and dragging me along
I'll be waiting for this chance and I'll be gone
