The Margins of Your Life
Notes scribbled in the margins
 Love-me-not, hate-I-do
 I'll make eye contact across the room
 But only if you look away first.
 
 Days that passed so long ago
 Now return to haunt us both.
 Reeling by in painful slow-mo
 It's a slide-show I can't turn off.
 
 There's history between us,
 and you can't deny it's true.
 I don't want to forget you.
 
 This is how it will come to pass
 I'll be a note in the margins of your life
 A hastily scribbled concession
 to a past that was more than it seemed.
 
 I'll sit here picking petals off flowers
 Going for walks in April showers
 Wanting to be more than just a name
 A childish dream, a fantasy.
 
 There's history between us,
 and you can't deny it's true.
 I don't want to forget you.
 
 This is how it will come to pass
 I'll be a note in the margins of your life
 A hastily scribbled concession
 to a past that was more than it seemed.
 A past that was more than it seemed.
