MD, part-time lovers

Think I need to make amends before I start Back in '07 thought i broke a heart Weird time to be oddly specific But how much love fits in this auburn Civic Is it enough to justify the pain it caused Swirling in my Rita's chair, hoping for a miracle When instead all I had to do was open up But I kept my mouth closed and I kept my eyes shut Think the icing on the cake wasn't the coldest thing in this place While I run with the track team From the nightfall, chasing light beams The spring breeze cools us down The sun sets early in the west And how the hell could I forget to clarify I'm so sorry, that I failed you Is it adequate to put it into words Or presumptious to aussume how much it hurt Never really good at part-time-loving But couldn't hit the breaks so it was full-time sobbing I feel stupid writing this so many years too late Pray for time to pass slower in the states You were always modest, always understanding Could we please move that 747 landing until today Until I'm grown enough to know my place Until open arms and open hearts become a lived standard and something that i truly embrace While I run with the track team From the nightfall, chasing light beams The spring breeze cools us down The sun sets early in the west And how the hell could I forget to clarify I'm so sorry, that I failed you
