You rolled into my life
Like you rolled up to my door
Without a second thought
Like all the times before
Stand in our distraction
With the focus on our fiction
You never meant to send a message
That would be misgiven
I walk to you, all the same
Can you recognize a good thing
When it’s standing there in front of you
There’ll never be a perfect time
To make a move and make it right
I’m standing at a distance, yes
But I know myself, I know my mess
We can take our time or waste it fast
Nothing we do can change our past
I think that we should just hold on
You’re struggling to find yourself
Like I struggle to find mine
In a world where love’s a privilege
For the rich and the divine
But in cars, streets, and basement suites
There’s something to confess
Sometimes it’s worth it to hold on
To a treasure in the mess
I walk to you, all the same
Hidden in the tricks and fees
Of wealthy thieves
In tired lies, in beady eyes
There’s a me that’s worth my saving
A you that’s worth my loving
