Lifetimes Can't be Lived Out in a Day

She was lost

And I thought I was found

Even so I tried to bring her in

She was young

And I had just begun

To learn that even losing men can win

Overnight we were shown the light

Neither of us knew to look away

So we burned and far too late we learned

That lifetimes can't be lived out in a day

We went the long way

We went the long way

Or maybe just the wrong way

I'll never know
