perhaps we were both guilty
perhaps we tried too hard
perhaps our rocket reached its height
then we had to part

i have been tackled to the ground
and pushed down the hill
i have been caught in british bulldog
and taken over by something i feel

so you think you know –
exactly who i am
what strikes me as a boy
what makes me a man

and i will be romanced by anxiety
i will be courted by change
and all this will be worthwhile
just to hear you utter my name

how can i tell you
just how much i love you
and how much i miss you
when you are not here

your callous disregard –
for other peoples feelings
your callous disregard –
leaves us all lost for meaning

life is not so bad
not when you are taking shadows
and making them looks less sad
